Consumer Insight: Sally in Dubai and social media

What Sally (a Filipina Maid) is telling the social enthusiasts? I just saw an article about a blog by a Filipina maid in the Gulf-news.  

My first question is, is this blog by a maid in Dubai for real

My first question is, is this blog by a maid in Dubai for real? If it is, then it is time to ask the following questions

  • Depth and breadth of social media in UAE – from face book to blogger, how many do we have? What are the numbers? What are they doing? And how can they be accessed & influenced? I compiled some statistics on social media users in UAE but this needs to be updated and expanded.
  •  Work ethics and social media guidelines – This young lady is the first drop of water, now magnify this to the workforce in UAE. Key Question companies need to ask from themselves is when will I be developing my social media usage guidelines, will I be developing them at all? Example of social media guidelines
  •  This Filipina lady is a lesson in blogging – I think copyblogger should present it as a case study; this blog caught the eye of press despite of poor language, no proper training in headline development etc.

Key questions she has asked

  1. Well, referring to the blog you have mentioned, it’s like a source of expression for that woman.
    Can you elaborate on the kind guidelines you are referring to?
    Since i don’t think any sort of guidelines will be able to limit the form of expression by any person until and unless they completely ban him/her.

    • Thanks Anam, It is always good to hear from you :o )

      Well, Sally is a maid and she is discussing her worklife this is a miniature version of someone is a nuclear scientist and discusses his/her worklife, there is a limit to how much information he/she can share online with public in context of his/her job.

      I hope that clarifies?
