I didn’t really “need” it, but the cool factor definitely had me wanting one. I definitely see myself defaulting to the iPad many times over a traditional laptop for many of the things I do. I definitely see myself using it a ton to browse photos, manage music and watch movies. My hope is that Windows Mobile 7 lessens the gap.

One thing has definitely become certain however is that no matter what we choose, no solution currently exists that can provide the right value and set of tools that fit every client we manage. Offerings like Radian6 and Sysomos are great, but they are overkill for smaller clients that do not have thousands of mentions per month.

Because if the answer is nothing but a definitive yes, then nothing will kill social media success more then just treating it as a broadcast channel filtered by your legal department. If you’re a small business the buck probably stops with you, so ask yourself if you’re really on board with fully embracing social media.
