You have a great way with words, Loren. Finally I understand what 'sophomoric' means. But you hit the nail right on the head there, because we all suffer at times from that 'mister know it all' attitude. It helps to be reminded of that.

I just wouldn't put it in the top 3. I'll cover more titles that deal with specific areas in later posts. Ogilvy's approach, for example, is really good for full-page magazine ads.

I used to get a lot of visits, but very low conversion. After few months, I discover few things myself and start leveraging the strategy between twitter and different social networks. Now it works like a charm for me. I was very skeptic about Twitter traffic in the very beginning, probably because the market I was working was not really suitable.

I don't have an account with either, but even if I did, it seems like such a commitment. When companies first started realizing the need for a Web presence, they added their URLs on billboards, print ads, collateral, etc. But at least that is passive. I can choose if and when I want to check out their websites. Social media is doubtless important to companies, but I think they would be better served to use them as ways of communicating with customers who use those platforms and who want to engage that way, rather than acting like everybody uses Facebook and Twitter. It is almost like going back to the day of broadcast marketing, rather than the target marketing we all recognize is a better way. - Adam The thing that bugs me about this is how I can’t turn around without a company screaming at me to join their Facebook page or follow them on Twitter.
