Mom's Guide to Social Marketing
Finally, an article that sums up my thoughts about the changes in internet marketing! With the ever growing number of unsolicited emails, we need to mind our p's and q's and put our best foot forward. Personally, I hate unsolicited mail in the mailbox in front of my house as well as the mailbox on my computer screen. If I want an item, I go searching for it and if you have good advertising and excellent seo, I will find you in a web search.
With so many scammers out there, putting your best foot forward and adding the personal element is critical. It is becoming increasingly important to build an excellent internet reputation and a social network.
Thank you for an excellent article.

Not too much smoke
I don't want to blow too much smoke, but I really did enjoy reading this article and it has reaffirmed the necessity to be ethical in marketing. Time's person of the year for 2006 only makes it more clear that dishonest businesses will get caught. I usually don't subscribe to email news, but webpronews articles usually contain interesting or useful information and I read them carefully.
I'm looking forward to more.

Social Marketing
Thanks for these words of wisdom. I am in the process of trying to get the hang of this social marketing. It is like I miss some basics, however I'll continue and will not become a wallflower.

Mum's golden rule
I often don't read the sales pitches that come my way but this one caught my eye. Yes the common sense and common curtesy that our mothers taught us put us in good stead to do good business, ethically.
Mum I think had a higher authority guiding her - the Bible. So much good wisdom comes from on high. Good job guys.
Bible
FYI- "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you is not in the Bible".
"Love your neighbor as yourself" is in the Bible and is where people get the above statement.
oops
dang...and I know my scripture pretty well, too...my fault.
that saying was on a plaque hanging on the bathroom wall at the church I grew up in...guess I just assumed it was verbatim...thanks for pointing that out
Misreprentation of facts
"After the page "got too big" for the original operator, the campaign crew took staged a coup to wrest control of the page from their biggest fan. That was the not so brilliant part, even if politics is mean by nature."
If your going to report somthing please research it first, the fan in question tried to charge Obama around $85,000 for the contacts he had established and changed the password so that they could no longer get in, that is the real reason Obama's people took over.
(as a side note Obama also called and talk to the guy and smoothed things over)
hmmm
Leo, first let me thank you for pointing out my editing errors. There are a couple things there I'll need to look at.
They don't have to do with my research, however. My guess is that you focused on the Obama part and not on the politeness part. You must not be from the South.
Since you only offered your first name, I'll have to ask. Are you one of the campaign managers that booted a MySpace member and an Obama supporter from his own page?
You see, $85,000 is different than the Washington Post reported. They said Joe Anthony, the guy who designed the page, sent a $39,000 bill for two years of service only after the Obama campaign got MySpace to turn over the domain. MySpace did so, according to WaPo, because Obama's name was used in the URL.
You're right, though, the phrase wasn't "too big for him," that was my error. The exact quote was:
"We wanted to work with Joe. But at the end of the day, this page is bigger than him," said campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki
Wow. Jen's a little condescending, don't you think?
But the skirmish began because of disagreements between Anthony and the campaign people right? That was the understanding I had from the article (which is part of the research you wished I had done).
Aside for the reason Obama's people took over, are you saying that you think its fair to Anthony what they did? That could be a matter of opinion. My opinion is that it was not.
Something else I learned from Mom: never trust politicians, lawyers, or people that won't look you in the eye...I'm going to modify that to include people running campaigns and anonymous commentators.
Either way though, if you're part of the campaign, I'd love to hear your dispute with WaPo.
Cheers
In Honor of Mother's Day
Not only were these great tips, but more importantly the article was a terrific example of how to tie current events and/or holidays into our articles and PR.

Mom's are wiser than we ever thought!
I really miss mine. That line about "If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all" really hit home. My mom said it A LOT while we were growing up, and it hold true always. Things have a way of coming back around to get you, so if you stick to Mom's wisdom, you won't be "got"!!
