there is a fine line to walk with social media. outsourcing to the proper group is imperative to making social media actually work to benefit the company rather than cost the company

There are many ways to personalize your social media participation and still hire an outside person to help. This outside source can help with strategy, get you setup and started and give you tips along the way. An outside source can help with account management thus giving the “company” in question more time to jump on and be social.
There are many ways to combine the personal touch of social media and the assistance of an outside firm.

It could be considered a subset of #2, but it’s not a bad idea to look at another option: contract with a solo social media consultant. If you work with a good one, you’ll get close, personalized service, focused expertise, and consistency.

It is useful if you have lots of websites and you have no time to do for the campaigns but if not do it yourself is the best option. You can have your man for 300 dollars a month to do that for you just contact me.

I know there are alot of social sites out there but I just wanted to see if anyone has seen StudentDriven.com a social site run by students from colleges and universities around the world. If not you should go check it out.

Surely any company worth their salt who is going into the social media arena needs to embrace it as part of their overall communications strategy.

Just “bolting-on” tweets and blog posts using an external agency is shortsighted. Most social media tools are, by nature, easy to use by non-tech people, so an entire cultural shift is required to ensure that employees themselves are contributing to the company’s social presence.

Social media is just one element of a larger movement with the user at the centre of any experience and ignoring this or not bringing this awareness and knowledge in-house I suspect is not a great long-term strategy
