I'm amazed at how marketers have simply moved their outbound strategies and tactics from traditional to online vehicles. For example, just take a look at Twitter. Instead of including "social" within marketers' tweets, we get inundated with auto and SPAM bots that just regurgitate meaningless tweets pitching some product or "get rich quick" scheme. This is a guaranteed unfollow and block! :-D If people want to get the most out of social media, they must remember to join in on the conversation. That is one of the reasons why I follow and read Michael Hyatt's tweets and posts. He's interesting, personal and actually participates in the conversation. I thoroughly enjoyed your post, Peter. Keep up the great writing! Great post, Peter!

Personally, I find that very occasional contact from someone I know is very busy and very 'popular' even just if it's a one-off tweet every few months makes me feel connected and important to them even if I know it doesn't mean we have a real relationship.

I follow a lot of insurance agencies on twitter and FB. It is obvious that many of them need to read this post. When I talk to them about this they say it is important to their image and brand to be as professional as possible. I know that many of these people are actually very social with their clients in person or on the phone. So why can't they be social in social media? Thanks for sharing this information with us.

People use it to mean 'stand-offish' or 'aloof'. They would say that they "need to be as professional as possible" but they would never say that they "need to be as aloof as possible", which in reality is what they mean. 'Professional' organizations need to learn that this is a new world and the old ways of operating just don't work any more. These days we need to be more relational... or someone else will!

I try so hard to stay in touch with everyone, but it's easy to get overwhelmed. Honestly, though, one way that I've made myself social is by applying the 80/20 rule, and trying to keep up with the people that matter the most to me. I feel a little bad when I have to ignore others who are not in the "top 20%", but I am comforted by the fact that when I do try to stay connected, the relationship is not too fulfilling for either of us.
