If you haven't seen this, it's interesting reading.

Many of us are cynical and various opinions about Social Networking/Media, from pointless to has potential.

Maybe there's something to learn from the big boys?

Here's some interesting high lights, with the full article at the bottom:
  • Listen. Then respond authentically and humanly... There are more than 15,000 tweets everyday on brand Coca-Cola; any that are questions, we answer. We have to. Consumers expect that we're listening and responding...
  • Think big. Start small. Scale fast." Coke continually innovates, but it runs small tests before launching globally, analyzing results for learnings...
  • Content is the new currency... The world is not suffering from lack of content. With this in mind, content creation has to be useful, interesting, important, shareworthy

Great wisdom from Coke.
Although, they do have the revenue to employ a PR team to respond to all 15,000 daily tweets. - Your average SME or start-up barely checks their Twitter on a weekly basis.

But, if they saw the value of it as a customer interaction tool, maybe they would use it more often.

Very true, but then if you were getting 15,000 daily tweets, then assuming it's not all slander, you would probably be able to afford a few 16 year olds to answer some tweets
