I think most people are used to using social channels now but it doesn&#039;t mean they know how to use them in a strategic context.

However, creating a community where the readers, fans and followers engage with each other more than the brand itself is what people should really be looking for. Social media is social our job is to keep it that way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here a few guys that I think have &quot;the real thing&quot;

- Bernie Borges from findandconvert.com
- Dr. Rachna Jain, Chief Social Marketer at MindshareCorp.com, and lead developer of The Mindshare Method (sm), a social media based lead generation and profit strategy.

Explore their social media places such as their podcasts and blogs and you will see!

I hope to be able to contribute with value assets to  this emerging new wave named social media network.
