Best of the blogs: The million-dollar question when it comes to social media is “how?” As in, how do we begin? In this Social Media 360 post Lena West offers some advice for anyone grappling with that. For starters, she writes, “get over it.” Know that corporate egos should not easily be bruised and understand that you cannot control what’s said. From there “pick your poison” and draft a strategy. “Get in touch with why the organization wants to do this.” Hands-on: Mario Apicella takes an early peek at the HP ProLiant c3000 part 1, one of the latest additions to the blade server fray, a 6U box akin to Sun’s Blade 6000. “Pulling out [HP’s] blade and laying it on top of a 1U server, a Dell PowerEdge 1850 in this case, the blade covers perhaps just one third of area occupied by the 1850,” Apicella explains. “There are so many aspects to consider in a blade system that it would be difficult to squeeze them all in a single article.” Video: In this installment of The week ahead with Gina Smith, a possible Google mobile platform that’s “looking a lot less like rumor these days.” Also on tap: our own InfoWorld SOA Executive Forum this week, a developer show in Las Vegas, and BlogWorld.

Security: Believe it or not, today’s Internet is such a security mess that “there is absolutely nothing any country has that would stop a massive distributed DoS attack,” Roger Grimes writes in Don’t laugh at Estonia — it could happen to you. “Lest you think that Estonia is some little, underprepared country that doesn’t follow basic computer security practices, you need to know that the same thing could happen to your country.” Prosecuting attackers is a long shot, though it can be done.
