Other OEMs stick to their normal communications channels, blocking info, getting just the "right" info out in the public (printed or on the official website). Getting in touch with your customers is what will truely count for future success. Keep on the good work - Thanks to the openeness of some Ford top management guys (they must have some kind of vision that could be compared to Henry Ford:-)) Best regards Ralf Scott,

Thanks for your vote of confidence. There's still a ways to go, but I'm glad that Ford had the foresight to bring me on board. I'm learning a lot about the company and about some of the amazing things we have in store for our customers around the world, and hopefully I can do my part to bring the company to the next level from a social media standpoint.

He's right, it is just a way of learning to speak with your customers again - and he says 'again' because I think some companies have got out of touch with their customers. Anyway, if a company like Ford think social media is a good thing, they have our vote!
