Comments on: Engage social networks like you would meet someone in a bar http://marketingconversation.com/2008/08/13/social-networking-requires-building-community/ Digital PR and Social Media Marketing by Abraham Harrison LLC Sun, 07 Mar 2010 22:52:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Stevie http://marketingconversation.com/2008/08/13/social-networking-requires-building-community/comment-page-1/#comment-3173 Stevie Wed, 13 Aug 2008 23:06:32 +0000 http://marketingconversation.com/2008/08/13/social-networking-requires-building-community/#comment-3173 Love this piece.. it's really what blogging and what social media, internet marketing, viral marketing and web 2.0 is really all about. As I straddle that fence both in print, online-- editorially and doing some marketing, it's important to be aware of what's going on and realize that the blogosphere or the web has rules that should be applied to it that are applied to TV, radio and print -- and that's some journalistic and advertising integrity about what you do and what you stand for. The description of a bar situation is an extremely apt metaphor and one that anyone would understand that just because you buy a girl a drink, doesn't mean she's going home with you.
