    Really interesting post Liz. I think that all marketers should take a stab at this sort of organization before delving into what they “think” social media is and how it might benefit their organization. I’m sending this link onwards.

    Oh no — a pop quiz and heavy thinking!
    Great two posts. It will take me awhile to digest them, though.
    I’m getting a better feel for social media, and I’ve found I have to gauge both response and what I’m learning.

    I really appreciate that you took an intellectual model to this and outlined it so clearly. So often it seems that authors “dummy it down”. There are lots of places where I can find Social Media for Dummies information, and that is a great place to start. After we get our feet wet and especially when we want to start sharing that information, some geeks need more structure and theory for the analysis stage of our own process.
    Thank you!

    Hi Bean,
    I’m trying to look at this from some new ways. Social media is “new domain” of knowledge and tools — it’s marketing, psychology, and customer service +++ combined into a new whole. I’m wondering how that affects us and what we’re not seeing yet about it. :)
