		<description><![CDATA[Apparently!

But is it?

One thing is for sure, it would seem that there is a lot of debate on the web and it would also appear that the term "Marketing" and "Social Media" are being used in the same sentence.

Question: Should they?

I would argue that if they are, then it is crap. I can say this because most of the "marketeers" that I know would wish that it did or still see it as an opportunity to do so.

I'm not a marketeer, never have been, but from what I can see Marketing stands for this: See a "channel" (an opportunity to be exposed to great numbers of people), go with a budget and create a "campaign", then calculate the "ROI", take the profit and do it again.

There is nothing wrong with this.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A young woman in the 100 strong crowd listening to the inspirational Nick Tadd talk on the power and influence of Social Media on Wednesday asked “surely it doesn’t apply to traditional sectors like Financial Services”. So, being fascinated with the response I might get, I instigated an immediate poll. Not truly scientific I accept [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Social Media Monitoring.

We are at the cusp of a change in society. As we speak we are moving away from the "Industrial age" and into "The Information age".

The method of "communication" is moving towards "web systems" and with the advent of web 2.0 (i.e you and me being able to up-load words, video, audio and pictures) there is an ever growing data base of information, opinion and action on the web.

Consumers are influencing consumers, consumers are influencing the web!

So with the volume of noise there is how do we get to understand it? Listen to it? Deal with it? Use it?

There are answers coming.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is my humble opinion that you can&#8217;t have a social media expert.  Social media is a personal action, done by an individual.&#160; It is  essentially &#8220;the act of sharing&#8221;. It&#8217;s thousands of years old and  nothing new. So the only expert there can be is YOU, as it&#8217;s you that’s  [...]]]></description>
