I've pitched SM to several "bosses" and from their perspective it's not free or cheap - they have to dedicate an employee to developing and maintaining it. A poorly maintained SM presence is basically as good as having a brochureware website (sometimes worse). You need to have dedicated, daily presence - which is not cheap and definitely not free. If a "boss" can do it him or herself, then they don't need to be sold on SM anyway, because they are clearly progressive and awesome :p The only item I contend with (and I say this from the perspective of trying to ’sell’ it to a boss) is #3.

I have a ton of social media strategies over on my opinion blog at Furrier.org. That's opinion with a capital O :-) I've decided to do a podcasting show for fun so I'm looking for anyone who wants to get involved. Bill Norton here in Silicon Valley wants to do a Geek Lunch show that I will produce for him. Do you want to do some podcasts or videos? Any video editors and shooters out there? Great post Alex.
