In addition to your quotes above, if a company is not ready to give up some control of their marketing message(s), then social media is something they should avoid like the plague. I struggle internally and have battles everyday with very traditional, conservative-minded marketers about employing social media initiatives across the organization and this key topic always comes up….”well, if we have a blog, how can we control what people are saying in the comments”….and my response is usually…”well, you can’t and that’s the point. Either way, those conversations WILL go on whether we participate or not.” Michael Andrey – great post and I agree with what you have to say.

But it has to be time used wisely, because time consuming it can be. So I stick pretty close to my core expertise when blogging for the Biz and engaging in the profesional-side of Social Media.
