Registered Nurses rock...and I'm one of them! Asst Prof of Geriatrics... and Palliative care @nyunursing Learn More
This is an open letter to Organized Wisdom, and more specifically to nurses who have been "profiled" without their knowledge.
Like you, I was profiled on Organized Wisdom and my tweets being "harvested" and added to their index. When displayed in their index, my name, my photo and drug advertising were displayed prominently.
So, a few questions.
1. Did you know most nurses are unaware they have been profiled on Organized Wisdom?
2. Do you consent to your name/likeness being used to promote their site? Are you OK with them selling you as an "expert"
3. Do you consent to your tweet streams, being harvested, unfiltered and added to an organization that chiefly sells drug advertising? It implies your endorsement.
4. Did you know, once submitted, sites are copied, plagiarized and their copyrights infringed upon.
5. Did you know, that as a "curator" you receive no compensation, even though Organized Wisdom makes money hand over fist from drug advertising. Can you say exploitation?
