What started as a review of the StripGenerator social network (a social network for people who like to create comics), quickly turned into a fun, entertaining passion for converting real-life social media conversations into humorous art. Yes…each comic strip was based on a conversation that I had with someone this year.

The question about using social features on an intranet is always a highly debatable topic of conversation, and every business will offer different pros and cons of implementing social features on their intranet. For example, most intranet platforms will allow you to monitor chat conversations.

All of these things can help make your Facebook or Twitter posts seem a lot more interesting and can help bring you closer to your targeted audience. This is a great way to spark interest in what you post and to have them participate in a conversation. A great way to achieve this is by using emojis, pictures and videos.

I recently participate in an Twitter chat where the conversation turned to whether or not it’s a good idea to automate social media activities. I also am not a fan of posting FourSquare updates, quotes from famous people, or trivial content like ASCII twitter art. These are just my preferences, though.

Believe it or not, online social networking didn’t start with Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Every business and organization is not the same, so a one-size-fits-all social media strategy is generally a bad idea. Just ask anyone in the pharmaceutical industry how they could possibly engage in drug marketing on Twitter.

Even old-school marketers and brand managers are starting to wake up and figure out that social media isn’t a passing fad, it isn’t just about “cats on skateboards” and “people eating oatmeal” and that ignoring the conversation is only going to leave them further behind their competition. They aren’t.

Is he one of those annoying Twitter Noobs who simply tweets what he’s eating, where he checked-in on Foursquare, and quotes from popular authors/politicians? In his 10,000 tweets, did he actually ever contribute to the conversation? For instance: On Twitter – I focus on retweets and lists. To what avail? ABSOLUTELY!

Does adding Twitter to your CRM process make it more social? Yes…companies have been watching everything you do and everything you buy to formulate their marketing strategies.

This doesn’t mean that you can’t post up your ads/commercials, just make sure that they are the minority of your content and the other 80%-90% of your content is conversational, educational, or somehow offers value to your visitors. Start small, but plan on growing. There you have it!

Not just from researching and writing articles, but form the comments/feedback that I have received and the conversations that have been sparked with others via social networks like Twitter. Stop caring about how many followers you have on Twitter and how many retweets you get. Stop caring about how many subscribers you have.

The other day, I overheard an entire conversation that was so full of social media lingo and jargon that it was like a whole new language. While helping them understand the terms is important, don’t make your conversations overly cryptic with a lot of jargon.

Give your brain a break – Not only did a take some time off from writing, I significantly reduced my reading/interaction on Twitter and Facebook. I had great conversations in real life. I read books (yes…those paper things that pre-dated tablets and eReaders). I took a break from the digital space.

As an example, one of my blog posts that consistently performs well is this Fast And Easy Way To Print Or Save A Skype Conversation. . When I wrote the article, I was frustrated because there wasn’t a good tutorial on how to save the conversation. Instead, pay to promote your post via Facebook ads or Twitter promoted posts.

Using my social channels, I was able to engage in some incredible online conversations with industry leaders in Intranets. Luckily, these folks also understood the value of social sharing and were willing to contribute their experiences to the conversation via their blogs and Twitter accounts. –Sean.

The word “viral” should be replaced in all conversations with the word “valuable” I know it sounds funny, but wouldn’t you rather have your content “go valuable on Twitter?” In Real Life (IRL) activities are just as much a part of a social strategy as online activities.

The final, and most uncomfortable part of the conversation relates to backlash. It costs money for people to be prepared to engage, so are you prepared to set aside a budget to be prepared, just in case a viral opportunity arises? 5) Are you prepared for something to go wrong?
