Social isn't about small talk! It is not about filling a silent moment with non-relevant information.

6/6/2010 12:11:33 PM - via @baekdal

In social, people do not talk about your brand. They talk about what they *think* of your brand - that's a big difference.

Social is not about getting people's attention. It is about rewarding people for their attention.

12/6/2009 1:56:17 PM - via @baekdal

Understanding social: You don't your fans to share your ads. You get them to share your insights.

What we have now on Twitter is largely "social interaction, based on traditional thinking".

12/2/2009 11:26:17 PM - via @baekdal

Personally, I do not think that the type of social we have today, will last another 5 years...

But coupons etc is important, but you need to mix it with real people - a real connection, then you get something special.

11/9/2009 4:35:52 PM - via @baekdal

BTW: I don't agree with that assumption (that coupons drive engagement). If that was the only thing you did, then you would have no brand.

10/6/2009 10:59:16 PM - via @baekdal

Google, asking 'what is a browser?', isn't comparable to 'what car do you drive?' ...more like what engine do you use: http://bit.ly/gLT30

Status quo is like quick sand. The longer you stay at the same spot, the harder it is to get away from it.

10/6/2009 9:49:47 PM - via @baekdal

Traditional marketing: Quick effect + maximum exposure; Social marketing: Long term engagement + relevant exposure.
