Social Media
May 27, 2009
When it comes to PR and the like, one thing you’ll notice is that we don’t bother being involved with things like Twitter and Facebook. We can still do things for our clients on these sites, but we don’t really bother with it ourselves.
To be honest, as yet we haven’t seen any real use for them, except to publicise things that are already on the site. Yes, we could add a Tweet to our Twitter feed (yes, we have one – if only to protect the name and make sure no-one else takes it) every time there’s a new client or a new “Articles” post here – but that all gets a bit self-referential. We don’t need to do it – we don’t have a service that needs clients to be aware when it’s available (or not, as the case may be) and it’s far easier to contact us through the site and/or our contact details than it is to bother doing it through a social-networking site.
That’s not to say that sites like Twitter and Facebook aren’t useful – in some cases they are – but we still have our reservations about them for our own business.
