Jay Neely Hey everyone, I love the group's insights for general social media marketing, but wanted a group where people who are specifically managing a brand / business account's social media presences could talk about their unique challenges. Just created it: http://www.brazencareerist.com/network/social-media-managers -- hope you'll join if you're a social media manager, or would like to become one!

Jim Armstrong What are your thoughts on StumbleUpon? The platform enjoyed a banner year in 2011 and has more plans to grow in 2012 (looking to expand into international markets and build out its mobile offerings). Would love to know if you use it and for what purpose. Here's a review I did on the platform--> http://bit.ly/yMysQQ

Lamar Morgan I am truly floored by the popularity of Pinterest.com. So simple to use and yet so dynamic. While I think everyone serious about social media needs to have a Foursquare venue, I think having a presence on Pinterest is equally important. Makes me wonder what's next? Could it be 900Feet.com? Never heard of 900Feet? Well, it's time you watched the video at my Pinterest billboard. See http://pinterest.com/pin/50524827039701998.

Jim Armstrong I see more and more brands, personalities and organizations leveraging video in their day-to-day operations. Whether this be connecting with new customers, evangelizing their brand or simply providing screen captures/guides, brands are embracing video. Here's my take on video and the five tips (and examples) I provide for how to leverage video effectively--> http://bit.ly/zKMc0D

I particularly found the video clip with Chris Brogan very insightful. But, tell me, have you ever thought about doing anything clever with t-shirts? For example, creating a shirt with an enticing message on the front and a BIG QR code on the back that links to a v-card? Want to see an example of what I am talking about? Visit http://budurl.com/LamarJMorgan for the QR code link. Visit http://http://pinterest.com/lamarjmorgan/synergistic-business-marketing for the t-shirt images.

Lamar Morgan I would like to know if anyone here seeking a better future for himself has considered the benefits of implementing a pay-it-forward strategy involving - caring people, willing places and useful things? Well, I want you to know I have. I have simply gotten fed up with sending out paper resumes', applying to applicant tracking software programs and being screened out from consideration. So, I have decided to turn the tables on the process. Want to know how? Ask me.

Jim Armstrong Would love to hear your thoughts on my latest post, "Facebook is Losing its Focus." What a mess this platform has become - plain and simple.

These two companies do not have close competitors right now. With the emergence of Google+, Facebook just lost that advantage. Facebook now had to make a few moves to preserve it's secret sauce. Otherwise, it'll get "myspaced."

We have shorter attention spans with ever increasing busy lives and social platforms like Twitter (140 characters). If our attention is not grabbed within 30 or less seconds we will not continue on with the content. Video is a better way to grab that attention.

We've gotten some great response, and want to invite you to share your feedback for a chance to impact the ad industry (and perhaps win an iPad or career coaching session in the process).

I don't see G+ as a viable option for many businesses yet. It's far too embryonic at this point and really has not taken off. Personally I think it's well on its way to becoming the biggest small niche social network out there.

I really appreciate your feedback here. I absolutely agree with most of the points Robert makes in his post. I actually mention these in my article as features that we don't like (single admin access and no third-party applications access to Google + like Tweetdeck & Hootsuite).

I do believe that these kinks will be worked out. The one point that Robert focuses on in his post is the single admin access - a feature that will become multiple admin access in due time. As the platform currently stands, I do believe it is incomplete and could even be inadequate for some businesses. With this being said, I do believe Google will take feedback like this, refine their product and turn Google + into a force to be reckoned with.

Thanks again Keith, really appreciate your feedback.

Jim Armstrong Hey Brazen...hope you're having a great weekend. Random question but I thought I would tap into the community. My roommate is looking to re-locate to the North Carolina area (Raleigh/Durham & Charlotte would be his top choices). He has 2.5 years of experience as a media buyer at two established media agencies in NYC. Anyone know of any opps. in NC in marketing and/or strategy? He's looking to move from the media side to a more traditional marketing strategy role? Thanks guys!
