Thanks Valeria, this is a great list that I'm using to get anyone interested in social media started. It covers all the basics of what and why, and is inspiring at the same time.

Sampad Swain

Great Post. We can start new year with your post as a primer to Social Media.

By the way, have a great and splendid 2009!

These are excellent points, Valeria. I like the analogy that social media is like the modern version of the telephone. It's amazing the amount of people who still are not familiar with Twitter, for example. If we see the fail whale now occasionally, just imagine what it will be like when Twitter and social media REALLY hit the masses. I look forward to going back and reviewing these 12 points in more depth as I plan my business strategies for 2009. Thanks for sharing and I love what your blog is all about. Sincerely, Paula.

Great list! Those were definitely some of the best conversations. Hopefully 2009 will even be better.

Derek Phillips

Great list and I totally agree that 2009 will have to be the year of execution. More success stories around social media as a marketing channel are needed for them to "go mainstream" but as the reach deepens, the opportunities increase.

Of course, with that comes the risk of dopey "marketers" abusing these channels and turning users off. My main rule to clients is: Be Cool.

@Steven - what and why are a good starting point. Glad I could be of service.

@Sampad - thank you for reading and participating. Healthy and prosperous new year to you as well.

@Paula - good to have you here. Many of these ideas were born as unstructured thought. However, I marvel at the consistency achieved during the year as I look back. The power of focus.

@Derek - it's the proverbial wanting to have the cake and eat it, too. It will be indeed interesting to see the direction all this takes.
