Social media can help you create a long-term relationship with your consumer that ensures they continue to visit you, and not a competitor. 3: Large Brands – Bigger brands have two things that smaller companies don’t: an already built community, and money. They also often require large investments to create an initial community.

This is no less true for the world of social networks. Networks like Digg, FriendFeed, and Facebook are seeing huge growths in value, but the little guys, the ones actually providing the meat and potatoes for those operations, rarely see a nickel. I think the big issue here is more about sites with snippets of text.

As Digg becomes more of a social network and less of a social news network (or a hybrid that incorporates both elements), it has a lot of obstacles it needs to face. Besides major usability issues , duplicate stories submissions , and ads that literally scream at you , Digg has yet another issue to deal with: privacy.

The reasons for failed social media range from the obvious (ghostwriting a blog and not allowing comments) to the not so obvious (middle managers not allowing wiki contributions without first getting them approved). However, these are simply symptoms of a larger issue at work. We just need to figure out how to help them get there.

To take two examples: people complain about an issue to an important newspaper prompting them to push the issue into the mainstream, or if a TV station covers an event, that becomes an important topic. Companies are at the stage that they cannot afford to sit idly by and be passive in social media. That’s not the point.

Google is undoubtedly huge and they could simply shrug their members off like Digg does to its much smaller userbase, but instead they engage the community and that’s why Google is such a positive brand.
