4. Objections to Social Media
My head’s dizzy with the info I have to deal with.
It’s all so meaningless
I don't have time
It’s for geeks, not our constituents
It’s too risky for our organization
It’s still new. We will do it later
It’s so confusing. I don’t know where to start
We’re not sexy enough to use this stuff

8. Marketing and Social Media
Social media are highly accessible and
scalable publishing techniques used for social
interaction.
Social media is about dialogue, not monologue.
A common thread running through all definitions
of social media is a blending of technology and
social interaction for the co-creation of value.
