Five reasons corporations are failing at social media: "I could go on and on.

But time and again companies are either rejecting social media or participating in a way that defeats the purpose."

Be The Starting Point Of Conversations: "In time, those who continuously start conversations in a niche become referential for the rest of that niche.� And once people are conditioned to go somewhere on the web for certain type of content, it is a habit that may prove hard to break.� If this place is your site, you’ll greatly benefit.� This is because we have designed the web to be� a very social place – and so the places where people regularly converge will continue to grow."
