the upside is the word ‘crowdsourcing’ will fade away.

lots of talk and lots of tweeting on how wonderful they are, followed by some retweeting by their blind fanbase about how wonderful that they just said was… then … *crickets*

Anyone that gurantees you engagement or suchlike through twitter,facebook, whatever – run! Run very fast :)

the “social media” (barf) thing might be relatively new and shiny, but the rules are the same as they always have (or should have) been with marketing – come up with a good plan, work on it, cook it – then throw it at “the wall” and see if it sticks!

If it doesn’t stick -ask yourself what was wrong with the recipe and try again my friends. (Or just take the easy way out and declare yourself a “Twitter specialist” -like thats hard, type, post, add friends, repeat …)

Good job – anyone not scared to talk it like it needs to be talked gets their feed into my RSS reader!
