You need to determine why your company should be social, for whom your efforts are intended and where your audience is in the buying cycle, and how you’ll measure success.

By that I mean not only the social voting sites like Digg, Reddit, etc, but also on the social networks (Facebook, MySpace, etc), social communication tools (Twitter, Pownce, Seesmic, etc.), social conversation tools (FriendFeed, and maybe you could even lump in Disqus and the like with it). It’s not about any of the tools.

I have actually heard this exact sentiment from several companies and agencies recently, wondering whether they should increase their Facebook efforts because the size of the member community is just so overwhelming. Despite their size you would have to think that a Google, Apple or Microsoft could still buy them without blinking.

Create Demand, Not Messages Success with “social” marketing is becoming less about creating desire, positive sentiment or aspiration among customers. Whether B2B or B2C, customers are buying based on what they need. When I'm looking to buy something I immediately think of people in my network. Im Jay Baer.
