Frank, this relates to another maxim I follow for social media – “tweet in haste, repent in leisure.” A considered approach is, per usual, best.

That said, I think that many companies are too hesitant to engage. While it is sensible to be methodical about launching and managing one’s own company blog, tweets, etc. – I think that companies need to move more quickly in responding to discussions about their brands, company practices, etc. Too often blog comments or tweets go viral without the company’s response being part of the message.

Ari-

Thanks for taking a break and commenting on my post!

It’s easy to caught up in the ‘routine’ of what we do regularly but stepping out can certainly give a breath of fresh air. Heck, we might even learn something along the way.

Take care.

One way of stopping, looking, and listening is to stray away from your quick fixes in social media and concentrate in other media. For instance, if you tweet a lot, comment on blog posts or Flickr photos. Spread yourself out.
