Interesting hypothesis Jay. For your readers, if your company is not in the Index, simply sign up. We'd love to start collecting your data. The Social Business Index is a free tool to be leveraged for just this sort of purpose.
From our work in the Council, I will tell you that the more progressive (employee-centric, democratic, distributed leadership) organizations embrace social much more readily. The culture shift is the most difficult of all the challenges our members face. Where an organization sits on the spectrum favoring transparency, trust, sharing, and authenticity is a good indicator of social business success.
Very true. I have over 7K twitter followers, hundreds of facebook friends, and thousands are following me on Google+. I can guarantee a very, very small number of those people really know me. In addition, I go to the movies alone nearly every week. Social media is a broadcast filter for the life we're interested in exposing. I'm very, very sorry for Trey's family. (I did not know him) But his gift and legacy will be the humanizing influence he brought to the social community.
Hi Shel. As you know, these guys are friends of mine and it felt crummy to see the negative press unfolding. Happy to see the record corrected for everyone involved. Nice job. This incident will recede when the tide flows back into the sea of breakneck tech web reporting. Life's a Beach in startup world.
Ah, finally a post I can link to. http://bit.ly/gtHyyL I don't get the privacy thing. I'm one of those people who believes more good than bad can come of it, I suppose. I guess I'm numb to marketing having spent so much of my career involved in trying to attract the right buyers.
