Now known as the “social media hotel&# of NYC, Roger Smith is attracting a really incredible bunch of people who have raved about the ambiance and the company’s approachability online. To me, it seems most companys focus on monopolies and then forced purchase of ad-ons without which the product wont work.

Granted, some companies use MySpace quite efficiently , but I feel that it targets a different demographic. Twitter, Pownce, and other “microblogging&# platforms really don’t fit in the type of social networks that I intend to illustrate here. I just don’t think there’s a lot to do with it. Wonderful job!

Brand evangelism is a word of mouth marketing tactic in which the ardent supporters of your service or product feel so passionately about your offerings that they act as unofficial spokespeople on your company’s behalf. They are cheerleaders on the sidelines and they’re rooting for your team.

Marketing type folk, especially those representing a company’s service or product offerings, turn to blogs and ask to be mentioned in the blog. Instead of emailing a blogger to include your company’s service in a specific blog post that has already been in the public arena for three years, comment on the post. Great stuff!

For a big company account, it’s difficult to actually engage all day long (and all week long, especially if you’re a 9-5 shop). Tweetscript is a “language&# that the Tweet Spinner team is enhancing on a regular basis, but there are already some pretty powerful ways to use it. Scheduled Tweets and DMs.

Better yet, having multiple employees at your company engage in Twitter can also help further your company goals.

Back then, companies who were engaged were genuinely involved because they wanted to build strong valuable relationships. Just like “social media experts&# want more freebies, so too, consumers expect more of the companies using this space. After all, the companies are intruding on their turf unannounced.

Bloggers like Valeria Maltoni of Conversation Agent , who don’t have a team of bloggers at arm’s length, offer content on a very regular basis (in Valeria’s case, 6 days a week). They rarely have one writer covering the details of every local sports team. It’s just impossible to do.
