Finding Your Influencers As noted in the study, the notion of true 1:1 marketing via social media is a bit of a fallacy.

Here’s my very favorite tweet about that subject: from @seancuthbertson And another good one from @karimacatherine I’m a big believer that small business should constantly be monitoring Twitter (and now Foursquare and Gowalla). Clearly, Foursquare has absolutely no value to a business owner.
