They were all friends of the host, nervously alternating between drinking Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers, and trying not to break anything. And many of us in the social media space are guilty of that particular sin. At first, you knew everyone at the party. But then, it all changed. The party got bigger. Thanks for the help.

There is no question social media does an organization good, just persevere and know there is a vibrant community there to support your work. Now, Google creates perceptions and it is our job to engage the communities and instill what perceptions we want seen. The change has come from how people create their perceptions.

That’s how people knew you on instant messenger, AOL chat rooms and a host of other places, including MySpace. We easily forget that Facebook was one of the first social networks that insisted that we use REAL names, and policed personal profiles accordingly. The tools of social media always change. The goals shift.

The challenge is the fact that what companies are using to host these ‘faux’ conversations isn’t equipped to do so. The u30pro chat that I moderate with Lauren Fernandez have amazing discussions every week as far as I’ve gathered from the community. link] Anonymous Nice piece Jay. They’ve gone on for days.

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. If your community is there, then you should be too, and the question is really rhetorical, isn’t it?

There are three primary benefits: awareness via virality and social proof; loyalty and rewards; and market research. Recently, I had the good fortune of hosting the weekly #socialmedia chat (Tuesdays 9am Pacific) where social media types congregate on Twitter and answer three questions posed by the host.
