Some advice I give to my Social Media students is to be careful following the example of some large brands who are relatively new to Social Media but seem to be successful. Small businesses can’t always follow by example, unfortunately. I guess they see these relationships the same way.

For example, the markers for a jump to cloud computing for a declining retail company are quite different than the markers for a growing startup to embrace a business intelligence application.
