Surprisingly, a decent portion of this site’s community is made up of those new to the marketing and PR industry. I say surprisingly, as we tend to cover subjects from an insider perspective and with a lot of opinion.
For many marketers, shiny object syndrome is a way of life. They just can’t help it, as they don’t have the focus to adopt and use technologies long term as part of a process. Instead, they flirt from trend to trend hoping the next will be their savior.

We sports fans all know how it is: Whether we’re celebrating a home run, yelling at a failed shot attempt at the net, or even arguing with the broadcaster, we are constantly talking to the teams and whoever surrounds them as if they can hear us. Well, guess what? Now they can, with the help of social tools.
