Re: Kevin needs "social glue" ideas - Hi, I like the idea of "10 items that could act as "social glue" because I am an internet marketer. But I agree with the rest that the 10 recent post is nice. Maybe we should open up a new section in the forums on Social Media...or Social Media Marketing. I will tell you that the world is about 1 1/2 behind when it comes to understanding social media. Building a section now will put EvanCarmichael.com is a great position a year down the road when people realize Social Media can produce more traffic than SEO. Jeff
Re: The State of Marketing - 2011. An infographic. - I will use Social Media much more - especially Twitter and Facebook - to promote my business.
Social Media Marketing Ignorance - I was recently consulting with the head of marketing for a firm in the medical engineering field (actually a great field to be in at any time) when I couldn't believe something that the client blurted out. "I am not interested in that Social Media stuff - its for kids, teenagers!" I sat back - little did he know that 95% of what I was about to tell him had to do with his so-called "Social Media crap." I took a deep breath, and proceeded on. This company was dying. They were stuck in old Advertising methodologies that were dying as well. I almost couldn't believe it when he admitted to me that they hadn't done very much online at all over the years (in terms of marketing). Roughly 45 mins later, not only had I persuaded this individual (an incredibly smart man I might add) into laying out an online marketing plan, but I had explained to him how social media marketing is very likely 'here' to stay. So it just makes me wonder - what do people really think about Social Media Marketing? Personally, we utilize tools like Twitter and Facebook everyday to make new business relationships and strengthen existing accounts. Print ads? We own a number of businesses and haven't taken one out in years. And if you follow the "teenager" comment - I have tracked numerous studies and articles that show "teenagers" actually aren't using Twitter that much - its a 'simpler' tool of sorts, for an older or 'more seasoned' crowd we might think (haha). Just some thoughts, we personally pick up a newspaper maybe once or twice a week still, but how many times just in the last hour have we sat down to the computer or used the cell phone (as a text tool)?

Re: Social Media Effectively? - Thanks for your feedback. I am currently reevaluating my use of Twitter as I am the other major networks. Seems that while I have focused on social business networks and have a good presence there, I have not been using Social Media Effectively with the big networks. Some of the better site tools include theses networks in evaluating your marketing strategy. While I don't care for the Twitter limits, I can see that just by cleaning up my following's to focus more on business connections will help
