It was nice that using HootSuite came up in the conversation right before my question about IT and HootSuite. I agree that the Marketing or PR departments should manage Twitter access and not IT. .-= Ileane´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MsIleaneSpeaks/~3/LtsDo0yNPtE/" rel="nofollow">WordPress.com is Still The Bomb!</a> =-.

Sorry I rambled a bit. I was talking primarily about the mom and pop shops that like the idea of social media, but worry about the time commitment. C-level executives have no reason not to want a company blog, or several. I've found with smaller mom and pop operations, first you get them accustomed to using Facebook and Twitter/posting on blogs/answering questions, etc. (assuming it's a fit for their business) then you add the physical blog component. It seems to make more sense that way. Otherwise, small companies seem overwhelmed by all the work of blogging, even if you can automate the content onto Facebook and Twitter.
