I'd like to address your concerns. There are a number of connections with social media. One connection is that when people are active on social media, they share content and links online much more so than those who are not -- and they share it via social media sites. And the more social mentions, the more brand recognition they create for your brand, and the easier it is for the public to find you online. As for those marketers, think of them an intermediaries -- connectors if you will. Sure, marketers may share content more frequently and comment on blogs more frequently, etc. But they serve as the people who connect others, making content spread so that a broader audience sees it. It would be folly to assume that ONLY marketers will see online content. I know for a fact, based on my own experiences, that many many more people see messages that those marketers help spread. So, do I want marketers to be my followers on social media? The answer to that is a resounding YES! Because they help spread the word. - Anita Hi Joe,

Joel - any feedback from Jim? I saw his jingle - it was one of the first ones up. I got pitched as one of the original 10 bloggers but got busy & never blogged about it -- until now. ParkAQ - isn't that for ringtones (not jingles)? Another service is http://anyluckyday.com - which holds a contest a day. You submit your product/service they help publicize it including on various social sites. It also goes up every day. I'm booked for Feb. I'll tell you how it goes! What strikes me is how a business could use these methods to promote their products/services. Backcountry.com is great at this with their deal sites like SteepandCheap.com but they fail to include social media in it. Huge opportunities.... -Janet Thanks for the tweets and comments.
