[...] the people who are on social media to be on it – they figure they HAVE to be. There’s a great post by Stacy Lukas (Her snark/sass is on Twitter too) that touches on [...]

@LaurieSlade “Does this blog make my butt look big?”

@Jen That you said, “if I understood Twitter and how to use it to my benefit I might not have found your blog” . . . almost makes me think that your finding my blog is a result of you NOT using Twitter for your benefit. Normally I’d say “ouch,” but I get your point — and you know what? It’s 100% OK to feel lost — you’re definitely not the only person in the world who feels that way. Floating along just to see where the tide takes you is fun sometimes. Nobody’s making anybody sign up for anything, but I got the impression that people were feeling like they HAD to sign up for these or they’ll be doomed, and that’s simply not true. Are they helpful? Yes. Is it right for you? That’s entirely subjective.

@Angie Thank you! I appreciate it . . . one of my knacks is just tellin’ it like it is . . . or at least how I see it, and if perception is reality . . . then I’m tellin’ it like it is, aren’t I?

I think I just made myself crosseyed.

Wow! Great post. I can't believe you really want to tell your audience and your customers advice that makes good sense. Seriously, find and go where your customers are? Brilliant! Thanks for writing such a concise and useful post for the small biz entrepreneur! Angie A. Swartz’s last blog post..7 Top Reasons Facebook is a Must Have for Your Business

I don't have a clue what all of you are talking about and if I understood Twitter and how to use it to my benefit I might not have found your blog. I haven't Linkedin but I do have a Facebook account which I have pretty much abandoned since I found Twitter. Eventually something new will come along, probably just as I have learned Twitter. I'll be hopelessly lost on that one too. Jen’s last blog post..Name That Tune

@Lauren You're absolutely right. It kinda reminds me of that song "Turn, Turn, Turn" by the Byrds -- much like "To everything, there is a season, a time and purpose under Heaven," there is also a time and a reason to use certain tools and other times not to. (I feel a strong urge to write a parody song suddenly.) However, when it comes to ghost writing, my feelings align very much with Beth Harte's on this subject . . . I think you'll appreciate that post and would love to hear your input on it. @WritRams Thanks!

For the technology based medium, social media needs to function organically. Using what works for YOU and YOU AUDIENCE is paramount. Social Media is not one-size-fits-all, or even one-size-fits-most.

Not only is it important for businesses to understand when it's appropriate to use social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter to reach prospective clients - but agencies need to know when to SUGGEST using social media to their clients. It seems like more and more marketing, advertising & PR firms are "ghostwriting" blogs, Twitter accounts and Fan Pages for their clients. This is not always the answer.

@Jamie I wouldn’t say that the line of communication has gone from “top down” to ” bottom up” as much as it’s just become lateral and/or free flowing in any direction. Old (or “traditional”) communication management models simply don’t apply here in the world of the social web, and this is one thing I’m dying to find out how they’re tackling in classes like theory now . . . if at all.

Damn, I should’ve been a teacher. Anybody want to help me to go grad school so I can?
