Long time ago, I was also romantic, but there were so many lies, so many lies that now cannot love nobody. Honestly, I envy to people that are still being romantic.

I concur, per usual, with your sentiments. The waiter has tapped corporations shoulders and asked to pay the bill in terms of customer service. I can only safely think of a few companies that walk the talk. My take, which has been from the side of corporations for too long, is that corporations are simply not willing to sacrifice money and time building relationships. You can not teach love, you can not buy love. I like to think of Ghandi when he wrote, "Be the change you want to see." If only love were easy, Danny. I concur, per usual, with your sentiments.

After any divorce, picking yourself up and starting again can be just as difficult as the divorce itself. Divorce yourself from your customers and the comeback and fresh relationship building may not be enough. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, always a pleasure.

It's scary to think how companies will act in virtual "game of love." Like any relationship or marriage, this requires work and constant attention. I hope businesses understand that social media isn't like just going out on a few dates (i.e., sending out a few tweets). However, like a great relationship, if you put in the required time, energy and commitment -- it can be a wonderful thing. Danny, as always, great post.

Such and important concept that marketers/companies/orgs need to get back to, nothing else really matters. Groovy stuff Danny :-) I’m absolutely in love with how you worded this post.

In this case, companies can create a “higher love” by: *Admitting they're wrong - quickly *Doing the unexpected to apologize *Make the love new again with surprises *Love every part of me (not just my needs for their product) *Love my customers too.

What I am talking about is those who are interested in entering spaces like this, but just want to make sure they have their legs beneath them when they enter. These tools have caused a massive shift in power and companies that are able to embrace them have a great potential to thrive while those who just dont get it will likely continue to struggle.
