Not to mention that just about everyone knows how to use Facebook or Twitter already, so in that sense they have prior knowledge.

Some don’t even have a Facebook account, let alone Twitter. Loads of new people from disparate areas of the business communicating and collaborating with one other, usually for the first time ever? I’m all for it. Having said that, many of the noobs have never microblogged before. This in itself isn’t a problem.

If a particular demographic of your customer base is hooked on social media, why not provide a Twitter presence or a Facebook page or a discussion forum in which to attract, contain and manage the discourse? Go a step further and create an alternative channel in which your customers can voice a complaint.

The point of the exercise was for us to share our thoughts, opinions and experiences with our followers on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. That may sound excessive (and yes, we were spoiled out of our minds) but it all boils down to how much you value word-of-mouth marketing.

Indeed, Facebook has a “friends list&# feature which allows you to filter your incoming news feed. Then there’s Twitter.
