I’ve been approached several times on LinkedIN with offers for work and it’s interesting how twice neither have been relevant to my career/education! The different sites are not mutually exclusive nor are they redundant, if used effectively, they each can play an important role in increasing our visibility and reputation.

We have embarassing pictures in Google Maps , videos about the death of an innocent man in the hands of a “competent&# cop , and even Yelp reviews that can damage your personal reputation , never mind your business. If a company wants to have a stellar reputation today , they better think about giving good customer service.

Building your reputation and community while strengthening your brand over time. As we struggle to justify and 'poke' at social media in higher education, it would be valuable to have some KPI's relevant to social media. Suggest people educate themselves and become good at it.

Blogging for Community These blogs seek to guild a consistent readership that interact with the blogger(s) and advocate on behalf of the content on other social outposts. Also, I think another viable category for blogging for reputation, or to establish a voice of authority. What do you think? Very helpful post, Jay. What do you think?

This is because B2B has a smaller potential customer base, a higher average price point, and a customer decision funnel that is more influenced by word of mouth and reputation. Private brand communities vs. Facebook. In fact, social media can be MORE transformative for a B2B company than a B2C company. Linkedin Groups vs. Twitter.

I needed to differentiate Digg from social media because they actually are part of a distinctive community (and as you know, I’m very passionate about Digg so it really did deserve its own category). I get fixated on one community and ditch the last, yet I still have my profiles on them and they usually get outdated within minutes.

Never Heard Of It This is of course a situation that is most acute in B2B, where White Horse found that 60% of companies either have low executive interest in social media, or have modest interest but a lack of education. But the job of arm twisting and education can’t come from outside. This makes no sense.

Done correctly, social media – even a simple reputation monitoring program – is a time intensive proposition that requires daily vigilance. You have to create content, be part of many communities, and proceed incrementally. Social Media is Inexpensive False. Social Media is Fast False. Social media is by definition slow.
