Tom Murphy, Irish guy who does PR for Microsoft in the States and one of the first people I met through social media*, nails it with his latest blog post.
I think I am having Social Media sweats. There are just so many articles, posts, rants and links. Now don’t get me wrong it’s great that people are sharing their views, and opinions and, in a very small number of cases even their experiences.
But really… there are only so many Social Media Top 10s, 10 things to avoid, 10 brands that…. you know… enough already.
* It was called ‘blogging’ at the time

This is one reason I think agencies and skilled solo operators can survive in this part of the industry while it fights for acceptance – people don’t have the time to learn/look at everything out there and sort out the signal from noise, so they turn to others who can tell them what’s decent/what works and what doesn’t – the cost of that person is offset by the time it saves the others.

Good point. I have never considered that.

Blogging? Wait a minute… I seem to remember that. Boy, that’s ancient stuff!
Stephen
What can I say? I’m old fashioned at heart.

You think blogging’s old? I spoke to Tom Murphy – on the phone! Now that’s real old school!
Stephen
Wow! You’re practically prehistoric.
