If you use Twitter regularly, you’d see that it wins as a social news site that provides instantaneous news — at least of that caliber. As Chris Garrett explains in his post, if you follow numerous feed bots, you can get the news all the time. The right news will hit the front page of Digg quickly.

It might also be a good idea to have clear examples from previous examples of your work that you can show them, with solid stats, visual tools and information, so you have something concrete to back up the points you’re trying to make. Your customer may find it easier to understand if they see what the general trend of social media is.

Reply Tamar Weinberg December 17, 2009 at 11:26 pm Janie, I’m not entirely sure – I think it really depends on email marketing tools. My focus is more on the humanness of the business versus the tools of the trade. The tools help, but at the end of the day, it’s about the relationships.

Moreover, if you follow the latest search engine algorithm trends, you know that Google and others are apparently beginning to factor any and all social mentions into their ranking methodologies, and it’s likely that these social signals will become even more influential over time. It’s much appreciated.

They hear about tools, put forth a miserable effort, and are either too busy or just lazy. With social media, an abundance of resources are at your fingertips. However, without a successful plan and any adequate preparation, your social media efforts will fail. It’s a dumb move, to be honest (I thought it was temporary!).

Reply Robert February 2, 2010 at 6:27 pm You had me when you put more focus on communicating than the tools. Made me laugh when I compared it back to Roberts comment about focus on communicating rather than tools. There is a reason why Social media is called social media. Hope that clarifies. It doesn’t work.
