We're currently working on a badly needed website upgrade while building SM presence. With almost no budget and limited volunteer resources, efficiency and effectiveness are paramount. We can employ several of these ideas to improve our practices and results. Fabulous! Great advice I’ll be able to bring to an energetic non-profit whose begun the SM journey.

Brian's vision clashes with Tamar Weinberg's latest post "Is social media becoming boring?" - she says SEO and social media are two different things. http://bit.ly/bSHMtN - it kind of jars but then I think that she's maybe conflating apps with process. Facebook and Twitter might die but different connections and conversations will continue. And, as you say, we'll all be a part of it, or we'll be invisible. :) Thanks Ana - you’re right there: creating useful, relevant *and* findable content is the BIG step for brands (personal or company).

Your post and the subsequent comments are right on, the only thing I'd add: 1. To become findable, you have to increase your digital footprint, put your resources into content production and make the commitment. Shannon - yes, sounds exhausting. 2. Facebook and Twitter are increasingly replacing Google for search activity....be part of the conversation or be left out Tim - your idea for a matrix for start-ups that maps up for Q/A effectiveness is right on the money - go for it!

On time and resources: Do you think we could work up a matrix for start-ups, small businesses that could map out by Q/A process the optimum route for their social media plans?

Cutting through the noise is exactly what Brian Solis wants social media influencers to focus on. As Shannon says, that's a full commitment and a lot of upfront work. Good thing is Brian thinks that the budgets will be there next year for social media development, rather than shaving off small amounts from other budgets as we do now. Hey Andy - right there!

You reminded me about Brian's idea of us being "curators" now - taking care that people can find and use the useful stuff, through proper "cataloguing" ie descriptive headline/title, full descirption, direct and indirect tags and then making sure it was uploaded in the right.
