“Social media as a method of public relations and marketing matured about four years. That’s when broadband became widespread. Broadband is necessary to run most social media platforms.”

I would disagree with the above comment. Far from having matured, I believe we’re only starting to see the tip ‘o the iceberg insofar as the potential use of social media.

Otherwise, the article does contain some good thoughts and perspectives regarding social media.

Nice article.

One more point…even before asking these questions companies should evaluate why they want to use social media in the first place. it should have a purpose and measurable objectives.

Hi Jeff,

This is really useful information! I work for a small online retailer who insists that only using social media is the way to grow business. I am a social media amateur, but I see the HUGE potential in it for marketing, etc. However, I’ve also been doing a lot of research into the melding of new and old methods, and nearly everything points to combining the two for true success. My professional experience is in traditional PR, but I want and need to get more up-to-speed in the social media sphere.

Great article. I agree that too many people are saying they are social media consultants or experts when they really have no idea how to tie everything together with their current marketing plans. Thanks for sharing.

As do I. I do think that social media is a much more viable way to deal with marketing in the Great Recession. It is a lot more cost effective.

Very good points. I find what my clients come to me for is not for my experience in Social Media as much as my experience in dealing with this failed economy using Social Media.
