To take two examples: people complain about an issue to an important newspaper prompting them to push the issue into the mainstream, or if a TV station covers an event, that becomes an important topic. The time has come for companies to be part of the conversation. Facebook, Myspace etc are just the start. It really worries me!

Plurk: Real Nested Conversations Brought to the Microblogging Platform A few days ago, I noticed via Twitter search tool Summize that Aaron Brazell had been talking about me on his Twitter stream. Therefore, I suppose the nested conversations and time-line layout make complete sense. Even Quotably didn’t prove to be much help.

This method is smart because it helps build interest on another platform and drives conversions directly on their home base. You may find opportunities to host real life events, be them at conferences or whatever else. Why not invite your Facebook fans to a special event at your venue? Growth can be a good thing.

The scope of marketing needs to be broadened in view of the new dynamics that have employees, customers and prospects engaged in conversations – horizontally, peer to peer, in some cases even in co-opetition situations. Some communities are very open to marketers being there and contributing to the conversation.

I don’t necessarily expect to meet with those folks immediately; often, these powerful relationships are formed online, and I then try to learn what I can about the blogger himself/herself and follow up, normally at a conference or industry event.

Somehow, individuals forget along the way that costs accrue when considering the venue, food, exhibit hall, and the staff required on hand to run the event smoothly. And featured it in a big presentation I did at an event here, too — so, trying to give back! It usually ends the conversation right there. Guilty as charged!

At business networking events, try to get to know people outside your group of trusted colleagues. Start conversing with the people you want to have follow you, and do it consistently. I had it for my NY METS buddies as we tend to have conversations that are lengthy which interferes with my twitter stream for biz but it was still me.

It is nice to see people having an honest conversation. Affiliates need to understand demographics, work on copy (messaging), and even build out landing pages to start seeing conversions – and that’s a timely process. I love how you take one single conversation and decide to make a judgment call. At least not for me.

You need to be prepared to converse with (and not just speak to) your constituents. In the event of emergencies, someone should be designated to run the public relations and oversee all inbound and outbound communications. It’s basically like a one sided conversation when everything is automated. It’s not just media.

“Hit and run” guest posts are of little interest to us, for two reasons: (1) there’s a certain amount of work involved in getting someone set up as a new author and showing them the ropes; and (2) the community responds much much better to those they get to know and converse with regularly.

I also appreciate your characterization of both as ongoing processes (social media is not an event). Most say they care most about conversions. Analysing conversations on the Internet to build-up a social media strategy can lead to many options including SEO. I think there are plenty of people who do both. and michael is right.
