Social media is much more about customer service and an open dialog that most marketers think. Put the consumer first and it will change the way you think. Jackie -- Amen, sister. I've created something worth talking about. Jackie Huba commented on my blog! Wooo-Hooo! John – Agreed. Social media is much more about customer service and an open dialog that most marketers think.

It still comes down to creating things in your business that are worth talking about. Social media allows those "things work talking about" to spread and scale. Right on Jason.

One extra point I've been thinking about social media lately is that it really must move beyond just marketing. Using social media to connect customer people to employee people to work out what needs to be done can be a big win for your company. Some companies are getting this, like Dell's Ideastorm site. I hope we continue to see more. Jason, I like the analogy. One extra point I’ve been thinking about social media lately is that it really must move beyond just marketing.

I love your example, too. If the only time you want to reach out to me is when you want something, I consider the relationship rather disingenuous. Good metaphor for the social media space.

Social networking should be approached the same way whether it is done in digital or analog format. I liken it to when someone you have known in the past is looking for a job. You haven't heard from them in years but once they are out of work, your phone rings. They want something from you, but have never been interested in investing any time in the relationship until they need help. If you want to have good contacts, you must be a good contact. Try to help people achieve their own personal and professional goals, and they in turn will be happy to help you. Same with social media. Some people and companies get it. Most don't.
