Social Media is still such a relatively new "thing" and I think it'll take time for people to really get the whole psychology of it. For me, having come from a very traditional business-getting background into writing a blog, I've been through (and, if I'm honest) am still on a bit of a baptism by fire of what SM is all about and how it can help my business. A vital piece is, as you say here, to think of it in the context of your business strategy as opposed to seeing it as an end it itself.

Social Media is still such a relatively new “thing” and I think it’ll take time for people to really get the whole psychology of it. For me, having come from a very traditional business-getting background into writing a blog, I’ve been through (and, if I’m honest) am still on a bit of a baptism by fire of what SM is all about and how it can help my business. A vital piece is, as you say here, to think of it in the context of your business strategy as opposed to seeing it as an end it itself.

The Starbucks story is a real inspiration and thanks for sharing it!
