LisaF. replied to Gregory Stringer's discussion 'What discipline is most desirable for Social Media management?'"I would say there are two Gregory! Organization and analytical skills. There are so many venues to use in social media that if you can't organize your thoughts and strategy and analyze what you get from each, then you cannot be successful. Just…"
Robin replied to Gregory Stringer's discussion 'What discipline is most desirable for Social Media management?'"Believe it or not I think writing skills (because you are always writing on the fly to influence) and marketing skills."

Gregory Stringer commented on Gregory Stringer's blog post 'Don't Follow Grannelle On Twitter, Or Why @GuyKawasaki Bailed'"Many thanks, Lucy! I agree about the "numbers" game. In fact, I've studied and written extensively about Twitter use, particularly where optimizing the ROI of its use is concerned (Breaking News Via Twitter, The Aggregated Twitter…"
Logan commented on Gregory Stringer's blog post 'A Social Media Curriculum'"YES, I completely agree with this posting you have Gregory. There needs to at least be a baseline course that covers ethics, the marketing aspect and general usage for specific situations."
Lucy commented on Gregory Stringer's blog post 'Don't Follow Grannelle On Twitter, Or Why @GuyKawasaki Bailed'"Gregory, I really enjoy your posts! I think that if you follow someone it is for a reason but to expect a follow back I guess would depend on who you are following. Larger organization represented on the web probably could do an auto follow but are…"
Gregory Stringer commented on Gregory Stringer's blog post 'A Social Media Curriculum'"Thank you, Marilynn. The SM profession is polyfaceted, and requires understanding in multiple disciplines. I would in fact postulate that it may one day require both undergraduate and graduate degrees, similar to the matriculation path of becoming a…"
Marilynn commented on Gregory Stringer's blog post 'A Social Media Curriculum'"Gregory, I know I am late to commenting but you are SOOO correct. There are many areas where this can be implemented and formed into a solid well formed course. I appreciate you bringing this up. I tell my nephews that they need to really learn this…"
Gregory Stringer commented on Gregory Stringer's blog post 'Don't Follow Grannelle On Twitter, Or Why @GuyKawasaki Bailed'"I should emphasize this was in fact a bit of humor where the pre-emminent Mr. Kawasaki was concerned, and further add that he was gracious enough to take time out of his very busy schedule to comment on the piece, which, as you can guess, thrilled…"
Gregory Stringer commented on Gregory Stringer's blog post 'Don't Follow Grannelle On Twitter, Or Why @GuyKawasaki Bailed'"Thanks Raji and Joe for your input. The more I study Twitter, the more interesting uses for increasing it's ROI I find."
JoeM commented on Gregory Stringer's blog post 'Don't Follow Grannelle On Twitter, Or Why @GuyKawasaki Bailed'"Interesting take on this. There is truly so much going all the time on Twitter and I understand the need for some businesses just trying to gather up as many followers as they possibly can but they can't honestly be paying attention to…"

There is fine Waterford crystal, that will ring elegantly when tapped no matter how thick and chunky it may look, and then there are Flintstone jelly glasses. You may drink your Dom Peringnon from either one, but friends, there is a difference!

Grannelle, or more specifically, I, is/am probably not the first choice of many in the Twitterverse to follow. I'm always open to connecting on LinkedIn, and never ignore friend requests on Facebook (except…
