“The social networking revolution is bringing a level of change akin to the development of the printing press.

We've got the same thing going on here in a completely different world, completely different set of challenges and opportunities, but it's the same idea - there's this new technology which is completely changing the way people communicate with each other and the way that organisations can interact with their customers.”

You will never know everything in social media. And if you do, it will be

different tomorrow.

What never changes is that we value relationships and we value good

information. That is the essential key to social media … and communication

wherever it happens.

Identify and write valuable content

Engage as you not your business

Build your connections

Start your conversations

Have a call to action
