We need to better prepare our next generation by putting theory into practice in the safe haven of the classroom instead of learning on a company's dime and time...and reputation. This is the thinking behind the Radian6 Higher Education Trial Program. We cannot accept every class, but this is a step in the right direction. http://www.radian6.com/community/higher-education/ Lauren Vargas Sr. Community Manager at Radian6 @VargasL Agree with you.

]]> Comment on Social As Culture Revolution, Not Media Revolution by Andrew Weir http://www.ciceron.com/2010/04/social-as-culture-revolution-not-media-revolution/comment-page-1/#comment-110 Andrew Weir Fri, 16 Apr 2010 20:11:56 +0000 http://www.ciceron.com/?p=637#comment-110 Great post. Why do so few brands understand the power (positive and negative) of social media/networks? Dell, Toyota, Dominoes have all learnt the hard way about it's destructive power. Others should take action now. Marketing, sales, customer service, etc need to work together to ensure that their brands deliver what they promise - this would be a good first step. A even better move would be to deliver WOW brand experiences that delight consumers...so they buy again and maybe even tell friends/others about it (via social networks). Great post.

It is not just consumer electronics, data and applications that marketers need to get involved in. They need to be talking/working/integrating with all parts of their brand organisation. Particularly sales and customer service. These are the guys that handle the touchpoints that also need to deliver great brand experiences. Great post.
