First of all, I do get a little confused when I see people online voicing their displeasure at anyone who dares say a bad word against social media. The guy is an extremely successful business man and his opinion holds weight. Small businesses do need to watch their time when looking at online vehicles. You can't do everything, you need to pick and choose what's going to actually generate profits. Sitting on facebook/twitter all day because some social media consultant has told you "it's important to engage with your customers" can lead to people finding themselves under huge amounts of pressure to interact with everyone on every channel possible. We are still in an era where only 6% of people reference their social network before making a purchase decision. As a small business, am I better to concentrate on making my product better, making my conversion process better or sending 140 messages to everyone ... it comes down to finding a balance. Simply saying "What the f*ck do they know" misses the point a lot of the time. Social media/networking is where it's at but there is still a lot of confusion/doubt/lies etc etc on how to harness that power, especially for small businesses with limited resources.

You can do funny. But this would be 25% funnier if you had used a lighthearted, more fun font. See? You can do funny. But this would be 25% funnier if you had used a lighthearted, more fun font.
