Would a company launch a major television campaign if the CEO had never watched TV? If anything, social media is MORE important for B2B companies than it is for B2C companies. This makes no sense.

Brand communities, contests, most social listening, and non-promotional tweeting fits into this category. Like Sonny divorcing Cher (or was it the other way around?)

But marketers have always reached out to communities in many forms, and each new medium has taken its turn as Holy Grail for customer influence. That seems short-sighted and workable only for very small companies with a minimum of online chatter about them. Adding a Twitter field to your contact records is only a start.
