Nice post. I don’t do a ton of social media work for my clients, but have advised them several times. They get impatient waiting for quantifiable results from their efforts. In some cases they are doing just as you suggest: taking time to interact, investing time and such; they just set the wrong expectations, I feel. That’s where I alot of people slip up, I think.

[...] great guy I know on twitter @DannyBrown who wrote about I’s of social media in his blog post Putting the I in Social Media. I decided to write my own personal version of twitter. “Putting the R in twitter”. [...]

Agreed, Michelle. And seems kinda ironic when one half of the equation is made up by the word social to start with, huh?

Excellent article.. really enjoyed the simplification of the concepts of Twitter & social media & the approach.. especially the “social” comment/perspective about what social media is.. so many people really miss that part/concept.

Thanks,
Michelle.

Social search is becoming increasingly important, Warren. As you say, ignore it at your peril – especially since Bing is putting more emphasis on social than Google. Just optimizing for Google is a flawed concept.

Cheers Kyle.

I think it can be easy to get swept up in the “social media will fix all” mindset. But let your offline persona go, and even the best online strategies might not be enough to pull you back.

[...] Putting the I in Social Media – We all know that there are no I’s in team, but did you know that there are four I’s in Social Media? We all know that I can’t count, but Danny Brown puts four I’s in a row to make a great case for things to ask yourself before entering the space and making it happen. [...]

I think people underestimate the power of Social Media, for me it drives the same amount of traffic to our site, as Google, yahoo, bing, combined! (Google if your reading this send more traffic so your not getting beat out)

But seriously, I see no reason to leave thousands of visitors sitting on the “virtual” table here.
