Know anyone there??" Within minutes I heard from @JottNetworks, "@jhipkin I do! What can I help you with?" I'm pretty sure they weren't following me so they must have had their search on. Back and forth a couple of times and I had the contact I needed. It will be interesting to follow the acceptance of social media in general and Twitter in particular. Will it penetrate the main stream? We will see. I put the following out on Twitter, “I’m looking for a contact in marketing at Jott Networks in Seattle. Know anyone there??”

I think more companies need to realize the power of Twitter when it comes to business. I don't have any awesome success stories just yet, but love how Twitter (like you said) helps win the 1:1 battle with customers. Great post! Thanks for the comment over at Training Marketer.

The asynchronous nature is a plus and a minus. As Twitter continues to grow, I think use of Twitter search and setting up topical RSS feeds, etc. is going to become critical. You miss too much good stuff otherwise! Great resources on your link too. Thank you. Very cool. The asynchronous nature is a plus and a minus.

Great resources on your link too. Thank you.

Another reason why I joined twitter is that it is asynchronous, unlike IM and it is a better fit to my daily activities. By the way, I landed on this post via twitter. Jason, the link I entered points to a post with three resources and three videos on twitter (including "The twitter Song"). I hope you enjoy them.

The concept of social media isn't new. It just leverages the technology to allow brands to find conversations and react to them much faster than they could in the offline world. The trick I find in my consulting practice is to show the value of those individual wins, and prove that they're important in a marketing world that's addicted to reach and frequency. jason Shialesh - You’re spot on.

It underscores the point that at the end of the day that technology is only the medium, it's really about people . Connecting with them, serving them and building friendships with them. That's the power. It’s always fun to read of real live examples of social technologies.
