In the spirit of Thanksgiving, thanks for sharing those thoughts and thanks for expressing appreciation to the troops. That's an unexpected but pleasant discovery to make in the blogosphere. It's enough to get me interested in what you have to say.Nick Savides’s last blog post..Why the World Needs Corporate Thinking

Great post. Obviously with marketing budgets getting cut, marketers are getting more and more interested in social media (and likely getting more and more frustrated with ad agencies that aren't stepping up to deliver on it).And as consumers have less disposable income to run out to clubs and restaurants to socialize, they may begin hunker down and look for ways to connect with social media.Hopefully, Twitter and other tools will experience rapid growth. As will social media consultancies.Kevin McIntosh’s last blog post..How To Protect Your Client From Getting Hijacked On Twitter

And let’s not forget Reason #4 … Social media is relatively inexpensive when compared with other marketing disciplines and significantly more measurable. Particularly when online sales are going to drop no matter where you spend your e-marketing dollars, being able to track what exactly you ARE getting will be increasingly important.

Good news for social media marketers – total budgets may be on the decline, but 2009 could be the year you get that long sought after bump from 1.5% to 2.2% of your company’s total marketing budget!

I’m certain some of these things will help however they are but one set of tools to use.

You shouldn’t use any tool until you’ve thoroughly researched your customers / target market / audience.

Understand how they are being impcated by the current economic changes.

I feel that Marketing is more about Psychology and Sociology than Technology.
