The biggest issue I have this all of this social media craze ("emperor's
new clothes") is the time it takes to manage multiple ways to do
predominately the same thing. Although with enough resources, these
marketing avenues are manageable, for small businesses, there aren't
enough resources in house. In addition, to outsource requires
tremendous luck in the selection process.
Secondly, the level of self-absorption in these social media outlets is
so monumental, what can I say? It's like talking with someone who
spends the entire time preening themselves in from me.
Just a thought, or two... :-)

Here's another article about social media. While it addresses more consumer
facing data, you can easily see how some B2B companies can take advantage of
the same concepts:

Oh dear, you seem to have provoked yet another blog. :)

Summary: It's not just the individual services. Each of us has different roles
in life. Pinterest might not appeal to us as MV people but it might appeal to
the companies we support who wish to use it for marketing. And while you might
not want to tweet about your MV epiphanies, in the broad landscape of social
media there are many APIs (web services) for extracting data into your MV
system, and publishing data from your MV system. As professionals and business
people, ignoring this can be a strategic mistake.
Thanks for the ongoing inspiration.
