Social Media Policy Examples

My two favorite social media policy examples are Intel and Ford (see infographic below). I like the Intel policy because it is easy to read, focuses on a common sense approach, is practical, and at the same time it is very comprehensive without being overly authoritarian or rigid. I like the Ford policy first and foremost because they employed a very cool infographic that will cause people to actually read and use it (clever concept guys), and secondly because it has great content and is a good policy. Below the Ford infographic is a link to a great blog by Social Media Today with a list of over 100 examples of social media policies. Some of the links are now broken, but still a great resource.
