I’m with you on that.
However, what in the wide world is a “kwinky dink”?
It’s a phrase I think I need to start using, so fill me in!

Thats what its all about, change and adapting to change. Change is coming wether we like it or not and successful companies should embrace these new media rather than be afraid of change. What a kwinky dink in the states with the new president-elect Obama and change Good post. Thanks!

Dell has dived right in, and its team seem to be doing it extremely well.

I can understand the feeling of any social media early adopters that what felt like an exclusive club is being invaded by those with a commercial agenda. But, once upon a time, the Internet was the closed province of a few academics. I imagine the active bloggers of today would be sorry if that scenario was still the case. If social media allows companies to behave in a more human and less faceless fashion with their customers, suppliers, etc, is that a bad thing?

And is social media ready for big companies? Many are not at all sure about the incoming corporatisation, and I’m not at sure I’m not one of them, however inevitable it may be.
