He was the originator of the article, Best and Worst Practices Social Media Marketing. My apologies, Lee. I agree with Abraham, it's a smashing list.

Your best practices should be required reading for anyone involved with or considering social media marketing. I especially connect with your first and last practices--"Start with a plan, not tactics" and, "Metrics should roll up to objectives." These two are near and dear because they are so often missed in the wave of excitement that surrounds social media. Commenting on the topic in a related blog post ("Strategy First, Tweets Second.") I recently wrote, "If you’ve begun to explore social communities, like Twitter, but haven’t been able see real benefits, don’t blame the medium. More than likely, you haven’t strategically connected your objectives to your audience and the medium." I believe strategic considerations are vitally important both to starting off on the right foot and to achieving success. Thank you for pulling these seven best practices together. They benefit us all. ------------------ Read my post if you like at: http://brandcontact.blogspot.com/2009/01/strategy-first-tweets-second.html Bravo, Abraham.
