Consider the cost comparison of communicating the kind of messages, and the useful information that we can freely distribute now through the internet tools available versus the older media sources and their cost structures? And yet, many people are still relying on the older stuff because it's familiar to them.

In my exuberance and passion for social media and the impact it can have on non-profit organizations I lost sight of what was important. In serving in the capacity of a consultant, colleague or employee, it is not my role to try and change that vision, it’s to execute that vision and make it reality. Excellent post.

Finding Your Influencers As noted in the study, the notion of true 1:1 marketing via social media is a bit of a fallacy. It’s really only possible in a reactive sense via social CRM, where individual complaints or questions can indeed be handled. That’s a good starter list for Mass Influencers. Good stuff.

We easily forget that Facebook was one of the first social networks that insisted that we use REAL names, and policed personal profiles accordingly. Recall that MySpace was the logical heir to the online profile/social network world pioneered by Geocities, Tripod, and Angelfire. Facebook is the Model T of social networks.

It's not that because of social media, trust has gone down. It's that sometime during the last few years, we've started to consider lying acceptable and that's been done at the cost of decreased trust.
