David, thanks for your comment. 2 things, I think companies like yourself need to chirp at Microsoft to get on the “add-on” functionality that Firefox has. Simply put, Firefox is spades over IE from a social perspective.

The twitter strategy is a strategy I utilize for myself, for Authority Domains and clients. The strategy has been tested and works for businesses. Obviously the entertainment industry allows you to be a bit more open. But that strat works for really any business (financial, retail, government, etc).

This is interesting although not always practical. My company, like many, has an embedded reliance on Microsoft for its intranet. This may be historical legacy (e.g. our intranet self-service apps are written/tested for MSIE), a need to support Outlook Web Access or even just SharePoint compliance but a wholesale shift to Firefox is not achievable in the short term, and even in the long term would require considerable expense on back-end changes.

I thought the twitter policy list is quite interesting. Are these your rules of thumb? Are they based on any research or are they the result of your own experimenting?

I think you make some great points here Derek – my addition would be to #5 – thank people (I agree) but thank them personally by using their name – I know that if I get an automated ‘thanks’ it makes me very skeptical about that user but if I see they took the time to personalize it, I am going to most likely check out their site and be me open to what they are selling.

Great point, and that is why I suggested having informal training sessions in house. Create a sense of social community while teaching folks how to be social external to your walls. Thisis a critical step in the evolution.

Very cool Derek. Thanks for sharing. I like to remember that social can mean off-line too – and that cultivating an offline community can yield better results on line as well since a big part of any community is shared experiences.
