Thanks for sharing your views Connie, I think there is a lot to learn from the kind of work you have been doing over the years.I think one of the best points which you have highlighted here is to start small and then grow it and its damn workable no matter what part of business you talk about.
Plus I think another important thing which I got through on Valeria Maltoni's blog last week is that brands are hiring just anyone for the critical job of online community managers and they really have to understand that it takes a lot of experience to build such knowledge and then imply that to the work culture, most of them think people who are on a lot of social channels and have some following can work wonders.
Thanks Lee for sharing the interview.

I think the point that strikes me is the “event” that might trigger a backlash. I believe you're exactly right. It's usually a crime, mistake or tragedy that compels people to make laws to address chronic problems. Frightening to think what it might be.

Thank you Connie for recommending the book, Putting the Public Back in Public Relations by Brian Solis. I am going to purchase that right away and also check out the two blogs that you mentioned Katie Paine’s blog and Marketing Prof’s blog. I am sure I will find these very helpful. Really enjoyed this post. Very informative. Thank you. Veronica Hay

“1. Everyone should start with free tools. Google Alerts, Tweetbeep, etc are great places to start. If you’d like to see the volume and the results aggregated then we have the Freemium of SM2 and Scoutlabs & Filterbox have 30 day trials.”

There are so many free tools available that the small business owner can start a new business with relatively low start-up costs. Since small business loans are becoming a thing of the past and venture capital is drying up (probably for the best) the regular, down-to-earth nobody can start a business and make a good living.

Business has always pushed for inventing new ways to connect with potential customers. Social technologies have simply exploded over the past few years, creating the need for specialists to manage it all.

This is the wild west of marketing – so much is unknown, but that is what makes it interesting!
