I'm going to go through my FB & twitter friends and start to unfollow the annoying marketers that don't know how to use this space. Thanks Keith for putting this out. take care So true, I fell for it awhile back, I thought the more the better, but it doesn’t matter, it’s the quality that matters.

]]> Comment on Twitter is not Social Media! by Tim http://keithburtis.com/2009/11/04/twitter-is-not-social-media/comment-page-1/#comment-4179 Tim Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:56:50 +0000 http://keithburtis.com/?p=983#comment-4179 Keith, agreed. Great post. Just because the tools of social media are readily accessible doesn't mean everyone is equipped to use them for business purposes. Some people in companies just shouldn't be representing their brand with what they're saying - same reason I don't claim to be a graphic designer just because I have Photoshop. Knowing how to use the tools and when/where to interact with your audience is not a skill that simple requires "being human". Keith, agreed. Great post.

]]> Comment on More Ideas than Time Podcast ~ Bring on the Passion! by karima-catherine http://keithburtis.com/2010/02/11/more-ideas-than-time-podcast-bring-on-the-passion/comment-page-1/#comment-4145 karima-catherine Fri, 19 Feb 2010 16:09:50 +0000 http://keithburtis.com/?p=1192#comment-4145 Guys, I could have been there and said the same thing. Not in a perfect english but ...:) The cases you are presenting are real and hard evidence that there is a misunderstanding of social media in the business world at large. The super troopers and champions like jetblue, Starbucks, instead of inspiring others, they seems to be shying them away because it takes courage to be out there and to letgo of control. I suspect the "I am not getting the social media stuff" is caused by not wanting to justify paying someone to help you build a facebook page - that is where they do not get it!!! The root of the issue is that most companies want to apply an old model to a new cultural/social/business shift Oh my, Buzz...nothing to add to it. Keith : sometimes, Genius is just seeing what very very few others see, even if it something simple and obvious :) .... All in all, this is a very well-excuted pod, wish us and you many many more! @karimacatherine Guys,

The idea that social media is a way of life, including the negative, and that companies aren't used to that is a great insight. Very useful stuff!

Especially when that catchy title and link come across Tweetdeck. I am currently reading Linchpin and Seth Godin nailed me and my productivity problem. Focus. There are some many GOOD things to do, GOOD things to read, GOOD tools. But we will only be good, and never GREAT if we don't focus. Love the post. Keith, this is me multiple times a day.
