He (and now with Mykl) have really shepherded the SMBMSP group forward to the point that it's--without a doubt--among our most successful SMB chapters. Loving Rick's leadership and creativity--both with SMB and his other projects, and looking forward to see what he'll cook up in 2010. <br><br>--Bryan Person, Social Media Breakfast founder Lee: Nice interview with Rick here.

The more I talk with folks, the less worried I am about the orgs that aren't "out there" yet. We're all figuring it out. I do wish there were more fun and exciting things I could point at right now, but we're early in our efforts. I am looking forward to 2010 and some "interesting" things that are being planned. But that's a story for another day. ;) Thanks Jeff! The more I talk with folks, the less worried I am about the orgs that aren't “out there” yet. We're all figuring it out.

And I can totally empathize with the "internal education efforts", especially as they relate to the Twitter account tasked with representing the consumer brand. Best of luck with all.

Hi Jeff,
Actually we have a couple accounts in HR for recruiting that are being used. They're http://twitter.com/landolakesjobs for general jobs, http://twitter.com/landolakesisjob for IT jobs and http://twitter.com/purinahorsefeed for our Purina Mills Horse Feed (betcha didn't expect that ;) . Folks can find up to date job postings from those two accounts. Not exactly what you're talking about, but something I'm pleased that our HR team is using right now.

I'd love to say we're in the process of spooling up that Twitter account that you pointed out, however the reality is that we're not quite ready yet. I certainly know that we should already be utilizing it to interact with our customers right now. I think I know what you're getting at, and I wish I could give you a clear answer.

I'll put it this way: my efforts right now are best spent on some internal education effort related to social media concepts, usage, business value and related topics.

One final item we've got out there is again related to engagement our Purina Horse Feed division is doing. Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=hose+feed&ini… where we answer questions and tips about the products and usage experiences.

Is there another Land-O-Lakes account that I can't find? Thanks in advance for the help. Good interview, but I'm wondering if this is the extent of the Land-O-Lakes' presence on Twitter? http://twitter.com/LandOLakesInc. Is there another Land-O-Lakes account that I can't find? Thanks in advance for the help.
