And that’s only because of the alphabet soup of social networks, lifestreams, sharing sites, etc. Social media is not about Facebook or MySpace or Flickr or Twitter or blogs or YouTube. This blog is great as encouragement and validation for my own endeavors in social media marketing.

Social media takes too much time and effort to not use every bit of leverage at your disposal, and creating content and uploading it in just one place is a tragic lack of synergy. What is surprising is the lack of utilizing each resource to its capacity. The Twitter background includes zero evidence of any other outpost. Your Web site.

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. Curious how you measure the success of these targeting efforts?

The problems with that are clearly one of culture (truly believing that every customer is a reporter), and of definition (thinking that social media is somehow driven by Twitter and Facebook). The impacts and effects of social media are too broad for that. But now I realize that it’s not.

The very blog that you’re reading came out #1. Sure, I pay attention to where I’m ranked in the AdAge Power 150 (a broader ranking of all marketing blogs), and I look at my search rankings, etc. Gizmodo and other tech blogs. It's odd, I recently read a blog about how content is overrated. And guess what?

I am not suggesting that your blog and the other is parallel in every aspect, they are not. I love your idea of leaders thinking if they don't play, they can't lose, but as you point out, when you don't play, you pretty much always lose. Great post. I especially like to hear about the benefits to non-profits.
