  • I wrote a post for Mashable awhile back looking at 35 Examples of Corporate Social Media in Action. Since some time has passed and more companies have risen to the challenge of creating innovative social media campaigns, I thought it was time to revisit this with an expanded list of social media for business case studies from a growing number of industries:
  • We’ve discussed some tactics to get your company better engaged with social media. Lest you think there’s a limit to how you can connect with business and customer facing audiences, we’ve assembled this list of more than 35 companies who are experimenting with social media in a host of different ways. This list is by no means exhaustive, and it represents a wide variety of businesses, industries and social media tools. As you can see, engagement takes many forms. Some are likely to generate more discussions with the company while others might result better connections between customers. Some will fade away over the next 6-12 months while others will continue to grow and evolve.

Ditte Okman: I don’t understand Facebook or the mentally ill

Ditte Okman loves her breasts and is down on the mentally ill
Facebook can be a minefield. College students post some unfortunate photos, forgetting basic security, and employers see them. Employees write posts criticizing the boss, forgetting they have "friended" the boss. It can get messy if you aren’t adept at social media.
