So the question is–are there things that today’s B2B marketers can learn from history, specifically, the tremendous success of Facebook and the rise, fall and possible resurrection of Myspace? From its founding, Myspace took off like a rocket ship while Facebook had a much slower ascension from launch. My answer is certainly–yes!

Twitter, which was founded in 2006, didn’t exist when I left. Facebook had a mere 20 million registered users. To the Army, engagements often mean meeting with people in the community. If we engage the community, build trust, and demonstrate they have a vested interest in the outcome, we might tip the scale of favor.
