There is so much talk about social media and brands needing to get involved in social media that it is easy to forget what social media is. Social Media is about being social, which originally was never something that happened online. We've created tools that help us to be social online. Totally agree with you Jason!

I would say that it is a little bit about finding our "what kind of social" your business is. <br>Some businesses and brands are naturally "viral", they cater to a lot of needs and wants of a whole lot of people. <br>A lot of business are more like Janice. Their social success relies on building stronger connections with a much smaller audience, in platforms other than just Facebook and Twitter.<br>I believe you and your business (or platform) is there for a purpose and success comes from finding places where that purpose will be better served.

After a week of work staring at the computer, I find myself longing for human interaction...real human interaction--not some nicknames and pictures on a blog (no offense) or FB. I guess I'm a bit of an old soul. I always wanted to come back to the age with electricity or computers. LoL. How much simpler life was. And when you gossip with your neighbor, that meant actual face-to-face.<br>Anyway...it's great to be reminded every now and then that no matter how techonological we're becoming, nothing beats real life communication. So, allow me to share some offline marketing tips that could help your business. <a href="http://budurl.com/96cx" rel="nofollow">http://budurl.com/96cx</a> I agree that nothing beats the real thing.

The tools of social media are about actually being social. As I watch my children, all 3 in their mid to late 20's, they really get this idea. I see them have actual conversations with people who are mainly local who they see in person very often. I am doing more to try to educate my old 80's crowd that social media is more than just a marketing tool. Granted many SM tools and tactics are fantastic ways to move business along but ultimately that too is about letting people come to know you, find they like you, then do business with you.
