I like Google (GOOG) but they are not perfect.  They made some massive missteps with our personal data and I hope many other Social Networks take heed because a settlement like this could easily kill smaller companies. And its a great reminder for all of us to keep an eye on personal data online.  Setting up  ”Google Alerts” for your name, business name and URL‘s is a good start.  Here is the settlement letter…

Google rarely contacts Gmail users via email, but we are making an exception to let you know that we’ve reached a settlement in a lawsuit regarding Google Buzz (http://buzz.google.com), a service we launched within Gmail in February of this year.

Social Networks Can Drive Traffic Like Search

The first thing other interactive agencies may cite now in terms of social media marketing proof is the Old Spice Guy viral campaign but here is a great chart I ran across while reading this article on Mashable called 4 Winning Strategies for Social Media Optimization and a report called Social: The Next Search from Gigya.

I’m not one to mince words, so I tell my clients that social media connects a brand with its customers in new ways which will definitely facilitate sales if the brand is good.  But on top of that, all is fair in love, war and business so when new weaponry emerges you must get acquainted with it before your competitors leverage it against you.
Here are a few other useful articles on the subject I have handy.
