I totally agree, Nick.

Social Media done poorly will not benefit you or your company *and* will take a long time to turn around when you do have the time and bodies to dedicate to a true social media program. Do it once and do it correctly and your company can benefit from your efforts.

Great article.

I agree; that like it or not to be successful, you need to manage/learn social media. I do agree that those channels should be used to generate relationships, not for sales pitchs. What often happen is that everyone is talking and no one is listening.

I have found out that the less people I follow the more meaningful my communication with those individuals.

I’ve been pretty on-the-ball with my Facebook and Twitter accounts, but then I went and signed up for LinkedIn on a whim. And to make it worse, I did it when I didn’t have the time or energy to put into learning how to use it. Yikes!

Lesson learned: New social media adventures are good to start during down time, when other work demands are on the lower side, not in the middle of a hectic project with a looming deadline.
