Good idea, poor communications So the hoo-hah of the weekend was the announcement on Friday afternoon that the South African Reserve Bank governor would announcing something of "national importance" on Saturday afternoon, together with the president and the minister of finance. And, oh boy, did the speculation and rumours fly and the markets react! In the end, it turned out to be more a case of historical importance or significance: redesigning our note currency for improved security and honouring Madiba at the same time by including his face on the one side. Stephen Grootes discusses how a good idea communicated badly can be very costly. To add my two cents, I was busy monitoring Twitter to find out what the fuss was all about, and noticed how people were getting upset about the alleged removal of the rhino and the other big four from our money. Much, much later in the afternoon I found the Moneyweb link with the official statements for the announcement, and discovered that "the reverse side of each denomination will have an image of one of the big five". Why was this not also highlighted in the announcement, to avoid the easily predicted, negative sentiment that resulted, and why wasn't someone from government checking Twitter to see the public and the media's reactions and respond appropriately when things started going pear-shaped? From a brand perspective, whether we are truly honouring Madiba or just riding on his coattails is a whole other debate... In terms of other news, congrats to Joe Public on winning the Jet account (and for also opening up Joe Public Amsterdam), JWT Johannesburg taking the Avis digital account for SA, and FoxP2, King James, Prima Plus and trigger/isobar for Cell C; the Argus/Rasool brown-envelope scandal is also back in the news ( Daily Maverick, Journalism.co.za); and SA's creative industry has been challenged by the organisers of the global Portfolio Night regarding mentoring the next generation. On a sad note, Bizcommunity.com extends our condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of editor, columnist and journalist Linda Stafford, who passed away early this morning.

 [Thomas Oosthuizen] Growth is hardly the challenge Facebook faces. The challenge for the monetarisation of Facebook is not how many people it reaches - it is a huge medium by any standards - but how it extracts revenue from its core business: connecting people in an objective, friendly, social, non-threatening and non-commercial environment.

 [Chris Moerdyk: @chrismoerdyk] I wasn't in the least surprised to hear that the BBC and SKY News had put a stop to their journalists breaking news on Twitter. For some time now, I have been following South Africa journos on Twitter as they report directly from events. And it has been so efficient that I might've felt that I needn't bother to tune in the hourly broadcasts or visit news sites because I actually get to hear the news before the radio stations and newspapers.

 [Gill Moodie: @grubstreetSA] Sunday Times sports staff have been told that they are to be moved (minus the sports editor) into a weekend sports hub serving most of the Avusa titles. One can really sympathise with them but, sadly, this is indeed the direction in which the media world is moving and, in fact, if Avusa's sports hub is a precursor to it creating more of these company-wide shared services, it is one of the last of the big SA newspaper houses to do so.
