Hi DJ,

Brittany (one of your account managers) referred me to the blog about six months ago and I have really liked most of what I have read.

Who is on your blog roll? Do you have any suggestions relating to intra-organizational entrepreneurship and finding the fit between the capabilities of emerging technologies and business needs?

Thanks,

Peter

I think what’s missing from all this discussion is the listening part of social media. If you use social media as another sounding board to spread your message, you will lose out on its biggest business value, knowing out what customers are saying about you and then reacting accordingly to improve your business.

Before jumping into Twitter and Facebook find out if you’re already being mentioned. If you’re not, find out what’s being mentioned about your competitors and your industry. Who seems to have the biggest voice. Then when you do jump into social media, don’t just shout out your message. Have conversations with people, especially those big voices.
