I think that it is imporatnt to always be on the look out for the next “web-craze”. Look at the state of MySpace 5 years ago, or Twitter 2 years ago… and look at where they are now. Technology is advancing so fast, it is important to keep on top of it.

There is no doubt that social media marketing is important for many businesses. There are folks however that waste an extreme amount of time on various sites when they could be doing a lot more for there business with other tasks. For example there are many folks that have websites but don’t do anything as far as SEO to make them better. This could help a lot more than hanging out on Twitter all day!

I can’t tell if these cheesy comments are a pretty sophisticated spamming/linkback technique or if they are sincere. Either way, I’ll leave it up just in case it’s legit. If others know that they ARE spam, please let me know.

Okay, I’m not sure what to make of that comment, since nobody in this conversation string did what you are warning about — OTHER THAN YOU. LOL. So thanks for the karma reminder and I suppose you will get what’s due you at some future point.

Hi,
But do not place a signature link in the comment body itself except for critical circumstances. Linking to your own site in the comment body is not only spammy in nature, but can also get your name, site, email and IP flagged by ’social’ blog spam software like SpamKarma, and get your comments automatically deleted from dozens of blogs which use the application.

And that is simple common sense. I don’t agree that a research, plan, implement, evaluate can’t be speeded up to fit the times. No experienced PR practitioner really needs a formal plan to quickly and innately run through these steps. I agree with Beth that an objective is often the most important element of the whole thing, even for a spur of the moment event.

While it may have certainly been assumed that those conversations were happening, what I am saying (and agreeing with you on)is that we didn’t have efficient if not more effective ways to listen to those types of conversations. Thanks for sharing and making me think.

Oh, that’s certainly assumed. Nobody ever suggested that our publics exist in an information vacuum. I’m really not saying that nothing has changed. What has changed is 1) the pace of communications, 2) the removal of barriers between organization and public, and 3) the ability to listen to conversations that (gasp) ALWAYS have been taking place. So I’m asking what is the efficacy of our tried and true fundamentals in that environment? I’m not convinced that we can just fall back on the old Research, Plan, Implement and Evaluate in a landscape that can see radical shift in public opinion and behavior from hour to hour (ask Domino’s). And I’m suggesting that our efforts to shoehorn today’s SM tools into yesterday’s paradigm is coming at the expense of realizing the benefits of whatever is coming next.
