Millenials are leaving FB in droves for several reasons: they don't want the anxiety caused by future employers discovering their activities, comparison to friends, hide from relationships, and simply being overwhelmed with all the social media channels.

Conversations open doors...encourage conversations with social media.  Great article!

Terrific infographic on Social Media Posting!  It's clear, precise, and spot on!  

I'm sad to see the need for this but if it happens to you or someone you know, here's some help.

This is a huge issue! The only reason they don't get it is because they don't understand that the new word of mouth has gone digital. It's a changing of the guard (old guy vs new guy) issue. The first subject when interviewing clients has to do with their exit strategy - if it involves growth then sell off, there must be an understanding of the value of social media. 

Remember this is B2B - Not B2C! A very different creature. Do not get them mixed up.

The minute the ability for conversation and two way dialog is cut out or devalued, then the social media affectiveness for B2C becomes only advertising slung at the wall. I recently heard the CEO of Digital Sherpa say he "couldn't care less about "likes for favorites" on Facebook... his main concern was SEO numbers... and that's where I saw his flaw for not recognizing that his audience was all B2C. He impacted several entrepreneurs the wrong way. Eventually he retracked but...  his audience was not able to recognize the disconnect.  B2C Social media is all about the ability of choice - for hold possible conversations with the brands you "like".

I love it! Twitter as a solution tool! 

All small business need to take control of their digital footprint - even if it consists mostly of redirects to an email address and/or phone number because that's all they can handle right now.  Claim your digital footprint now and strategize when you can.

Seeing Social Media in action to increase bottom lines helps those who need definitive ROI dots to connect.

love the quick and easy... and the new ways of doing things.

Twitter's bringing this feature inhouse - I say why not. But I wonder, if there's going to be an intuitive auto scheduler as well like Buffer or Hootlet. 

It's about building relationships that bank on the social equity of trust.  #vstil
