Get the tools into the right hands, make sure your people don't make the obvious social media mistakes, get management to buy in and support it, etc.

I'm really glad I don't work in marketing right now. That has got to be a hard job :-)

One of my biggest goals is trying to get more people from areas like R&D, development and product definition active on blogs, Twitter, etc. We have a few tech guys in England blogging now that are posting some awesome stuff.

Yeah, so, I've tried to get access to use V6, but no go. Is it not a simple software installation? believe me, once I'm able to use it, I'll be writing something on it.

The ad certainly is not, but the method of distribution certainly is. The ad is funny and therefore will be sent around in a viral manner, well you hope anyway. This approach is good advertising but it is not value for users. Actually far from it. I wish they were a little shorter though. Is it or is it not social media???
