Posted in the Category of Stuff
One of the mantras in social media circles these days is: "This is not just about blogging."
So true. I couldn't agree more. Whether it's microblogging with Twitter (see marriottpr) or idea generation with evangelistic customers' input (see MyStarbucksIdea), there are many ways that companies can deploy social media to listen and to learn.

An article by Rich Karpinski this week in BtoB Magazine reminds us that only about 12% of Fortune 500 companies are blogging (11.6% according to the Fortune 500 Business Blogging Wiki).

It's not too late to register for BlogPotomac, BTW. There are a few seats left. We're calling BlogPotomac the premiere social media marketing unconference for the Washington DC area and we're expecting a sell-out crowd at The State Theater in Falls Church on Friday, June 13, 2008. More at bottom of post.
Debbie: When people talk about social media they almost always mean the tools (blogging, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). What's the difference between social media tools and a social media strategy?

When Amazon.com Goes Down… Shouldn’t This Be “Top News”?
Posted in the Category of In the News
Update: Amazon is back up as of 3:40 PM Eastern.
Just saw via Twitter that the Amazon.com site is down (click on Web page message at left).
Strangely, this seems like very big news. Yet when I click on my Google home page (see below), there is no mention of it under all the news tabs.
