This presents misunderstandings (at the least) and enlists your people beyond just the marketing and PR groups. Choose metrics that make the most sense for the tactics you’re employing, and monitor results to determine which activities to increase and where a change of course may be needed. Instead, they want to connect.

Blogging helps you build community (especially via comments), establish thought leadership, bring links to your website (both internally, perhaps to products or to other articles on your blog, and externally, when people like what you say and opt to link to you), and get you some nice traffic. Give to your community. Customer Service.

When you have a group of people submitting their work, there is an awareness that it isn’t just one idea that will work, so the result is a higher quality of work. Crowdsourcing is an useful model because it can be used by any group for any reason. It seems the activity level has fallen off.

Don’t use a Facebook Group. Don’t shy away from giving your community the information needed to find you elsewhere both online and offline. Let it be posted on every social platform of choice and then watch as it seeds through other communities (which is likely to happen and shows that your marketing is viral).

With Twitter being so incredibly large and vast, there are different types of mini-communities. It’s not enough to be insular and focus on your groups of friends. At business networking events, try to get to know people outside your group of trusted colleagues. I created an additional account for people in that group.

The lack of communication was disconcerting, but worse, it’s really Facebook’s fault.
