Why do you say that? I guess it depends on what you're trying to get out of Twitter.

I'm sure you'll understand it the more you use it.

True, but time = money + time-that-could-have-been-spent-on-something-else

I guess I kinda see both sides as far as money goes. It IS a risk. It's new and ever-changing. On the flip side of that, I think it is quite possible to gather stats and whatever numbers are necessary to get some type of estimate on ROI.

Then again…what's really being invested? Time? One guy could possibly be the voice of an entire corporation. I'm sure most companies spend more cash on other marketing methods than they ever would in giving SM a shot.

I agree with you – but money talks, to a certain extent. Lots of executive folks wanna see hard numbers that social media is a risk worth investing in.

Personally, I think that any company can use SM to for PR, Cust. Service, etc. The challenge is converting your SM activities into revenue or cost savings and being able to measure efficiency/effectiveness.

I'd say I'm definitely more of a Type Y. Whether it be money or social change or whatever, if you engage and interact with people, your goals will eventually be met. The key is actually being social and making real connections. Most people miss this entirely and, even if they do see it, they're too lazy to follow through.
