Really useful post, thanks Frank. From a crisis management perspective it’s interesting to see how many companies claim to be using Twitter to be monitoring for and responding to issues in real time. Experience would suggest it’s not nearly that high, but at the very least it shows that companies recognise what they should be doing. Keep up the great work!

no doubt twitter is currently one of the best primary sources for ORM and intervension in business, product and brand reputation management situations – amazing for direct customer service/feedback in real time.

.Social networking sites are still a good way to promote your blog, website, posts and articles. I use some of great networking services for promotion of my blog and I get really good results. I suggest my friends to promote their blogs on social networking sites.

Interesting post, Frank. It’s great to see the comparisons between B2B and B2C social networking interactions.
For us (B2B online reputation monitoring) it has been helpful to use a combination of social media to connect with potential clients: Twitter, corporate and personal blogs, forums, video-sharing sites, etc. It depends on the industry and who is where and doing what on which network. For internal communication, a corporate wiki, Skype, and e-mail are invaluable (and there’s also some Facebooking going on ).

Best,
Michelle

It’s no surprise that the more human interactions are what resonates on both platforms. Brands pump out or linking to impersonal brand messaging are likely wasting the opportunity to make quality connections with some of their biggest advocates.

Very interesting results. Prospects and clients always ask me if it’s worth their while to do SM. I tell them they have to try it, because nobody really knows yet across the board how effective SM is for one business vs. another.

Thanks for posting!

This is an excellent post. 2010 is going to be the year where social media monitoring becomes a “must have” rather than a “nice to have” component of business success. One powerful tool I would encourage each business to check out is TipTop http://FeelTipTop.com

We’ve had some good success running contests that encourage sharing. We were pretty early to that game, though, and as more people/brands have done the same thing, the more spammy those contests look, and the less effective they have become.

As for Facebook apps, I think they’re money, IMHO. Just sayin’.

Very informative… Twitter and Facebook are just the way people are communicating in the current market.

The B2B and B2C information was very interesting as well. These seem to be effective areas to look for brand buildin activities – particularly in the B2C space.
