Recently an entrepreneur friend of mine called me long distance to pick my brain about what questions should he be asking candidates applying for Social Media Consultant’s position. I am sure many of you have similar concerns regarding hiring a company for your social media and SEO needs. This blogpost is meant as a guide for HR and business owners/managers to help them hire social media contractors that will deliver real results and not just rack up billable hours.

When I think of examples of companies known for successful adoption of social media tools, a few names always come to mind – Dell, Radian6, Freshbooks… and Zappos. (On a related note, all of those companies have gained a reputation for good service via social media – a topic for a future post, perhaps…). So, when a colleague remarked that she was enjoying a book that charted the course of Zappos so far, I promptly added it to my 2010 reading list.

Are trivial Foursquare Twitter updates especially annoying, or just more of the same? Twitter was built for trivial status updates. Then came link sharing.

Have you ever thought about who sees your tweets? I often do.

How much, was I shaping my Twitter feed, and how much was Twitter shaping me? She goes on to say that “The expansion of our digital universe has shifted not only how we spend our time but also how we construct identity&#.

I was driving into Pittsburgh today to meet with a couple of clients and I was on the phone with one of my friends who told me that he had been talking with a local ad agency about social media. Before I cut to the chase, the agency is a major player in Pittsburgh but by no means a social media player. This may help with what he said next. He goes on to tell me that the agency told him that social media is not effective and pretty much a flash in the pan type of thing.
