Details of Twitter IPO reportedly to be made public soon
Twitter's confidential initial public offering filing is set to be made public this week, a source said. The offering is expected to value the social media company at as much as $15 billion. Twitter reportedly stands a good chance of going public on the New York Stock Exchange, rather than the tech-heavy Nasdaq. Quartz (9/29), Reuters (9/30), CNET (9/29), Time.com (9/27)

Is the NSA reading your Facebook page?
The National Security Agency is trawling Americans' Facebook profiles and other social media resources in a bid to map the social connections of people under investigation. Social data, collected under an exemption allowing the NSA to target Americans, helps officials determine associates, travel arrangements, locations and other data pertinent to foreign intelligence operations. "All data queries must include a foreign intelligence justification, period," an unidentified agency spokesperson said. The New York Times (tiered subscription model) (9/28)

How online groups can modify people's behavior
Using social media and online communities to change people's behavior depends on addressing their deep-seated psychological needs, writes Sean Young, a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. Appealing to people's need to trust others, their need to fit in or their need to feel good about themselves can help online communities change people's actions, Young writes. "People are complicated ... but addressing these needs should get you a long way toward how you can use technologies to change and sustain behavior," he writes. TechCrunch (9/28)

Tips for recruiting on Twitter
Twitter's strengths as a recruiting tool are that it encourages direct interactions between workers and employers, and it puts both parties on equal footing, says HR blogger Erin Osterhaus. Companies can boost their presence on Twitter by encouraging employees to tweet about job openings and company activities, Osterhaus says. A bad strategy is to limit your company's tweets to standard job listings, she says. SmartBrief/SmartBlog on Social Media (9/30)
