Do you believe businesses should be involved in Social Media? Would you view this as self-serving or active involvement? |

Absolutely and this video has a sobering view of exactly why... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFZ0z5Fm-Ng If you are not scared as a businessperson, then you are not paying attention. Great video. I've seen it myself previously and have it bookmarked! Thanks for the share... That was a truely great and informative video thanks! So did this one get picked as "the answer"? Yes, if I recall rightly, I voted your reply as the answer because the video addressed everything the rest of us mentioned in our answers, and then some. The original poster, or you, can un-check it if you for some reason don't want it selected. The original poster should actually select it so he can get the point value (I receive none for checking it, as it's not my question.) Since the original poster was last here on the 9th of June I didn't think that was very likely to happen anytime soon. YEAH FOR ME! Thanks for the response...don't think I got any kind of notice so other than the unnamed green box I didn't have any other indication. Thanks again! |

It depends. If a business is going to do a piss-poor job with their social media strategy/activity, they might as well stay away from social media -- walk away, pretend it doesn't exist. Why? Nothing is more off-putting than discovering a brand on Twitter, only to see they haven't tweeted in over 60 days or are merely tweeting truncated press releases or the same message repeatedly. Every business that seeks to be successful in today's marketplace should be leveraging social media in some way to grow and support their business, and some are doing an exemplary job, such as Ford Motor Company, ThinkGeek, NASA (a government agency rather than a business, of course) and WineLibrary.tv/.com (Gary Vaynerchuk). |

I think a business should at least have a Twitter account. They can post what's on sale quickly or the latest deals. |

Only if they want more business. And after all, isn't business in business for the business? |
