Swartz Sun, 19 Oct 2008 18:28:56 +0000 http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/?p=2052#comment-401761 John, Would love your comment on an article,"Is Web 2.0 Living on Thin Air" written by Tom Davenport at Harvard Business Publications here http://discussionleader.hbsp.com/davenport/2008/10/is_web_20_living_on_thin_air.html I am amazed at the shallow nature of the article given the opportunities that Web 2.0 offers big business to connect with Gen X and Y. You can see the comment I left there also. Additionally, another commenter left a link to an amazing talk (Link is labeled "Explaining the Cognitive Surplus"). The talk has the best analogy for explaining by Web 2.0 is here to stay that I have heard yet. So Poignant! Love to see you weigh in!

The what, when (including frequency of interaction and contact), the who, the why ... all of this can be overwhelming to businesses (particularly small businesses with limited resources). However the payback is in the power of social media. Once companies get past finding out what social media can mean to their business, they need to build strategies to keep current with it.

Regarding the comment about the "dot com" bust...hey, what's there to lose? We didn't have to invest much. The day Facebook or blogs are outdated, we'll just move on to the next big thing!

I think many of you may be surprised. Not only are many of them active but they also are pro-active. I have received 2 calls from large companies after I have posted a comment or a blogged about their product. So Big Brother is watching!
