Not every company needs a blog. YouTube worked for BlendTec, but it might not work for your company. Build community platforms around real communities of shared interest. Help companies participate in existing social networks, and build relationships on their turf. Consider the value of hiring a community manager.

One of the reasons I moved off Blogger (Google hosting) onto my own ISP hosted site, by the way, was for that very reason. Community Pages.

If you work as a social media manager or online community manager you see these all the time … negative comments. Most customers who complain online don’t want to hurt your company. If the comment is from a turd, your community will see them for what they are, and they will lose their credibility. Guest post by Yvette Pistorio.

Many companies partake in this “shiny toy syndrome&# and do it all without a plan or strategy in place. Just do it while giving back to the community as well. This turns bloggers sour, thinking that everyone in public relations or blogger outreach is just a spammer. Want to self promote? Engage in dialogue.

With more than 90% of companies now using social media to find employees and 82% having a Facebook page , there’s no question that business use of social media has become commonplace. Other social activity and presence (Flickr, SlideShare, Wikipedia, etc.). But “use” and “success” are two different things.

The small community of readers I have built up and learned from would shun me, rightly perhaps. I know big bloggers get swag.
