Social Media for business – why it’s important!
posted by robert | filed under social media
As many of you already know, I spend a great deal of my time working on social media application development – Facebook Apps mainly – for various clients. I’ve been developing Facebook Apps for a fair while now (check out my timeline for more detail) and have done so for both large clients (Fox International or Momentum Pictures, for example) and smaller ones in the UK, Switzerland and USA.
No matter the size of your organisation, one thing is clear: Using social media and Facebook Pages or Apps in particular are great ways to engage in dialogue with your customers. Using social media correctly is essential. Avoiding common mistakes and pitfalls is even more so. This is a subject close to my heart, so to speak.
I was fortunate enough to meet Krystena Petrakas, one of Business Wings’ Staff Writers, at the Business Startup 2010 show in London before Christmas. After talking a little about the need for businesses to embrace social media, she asked me if I’d be willing to be interviewed for a podcast to be published on their site.
The result can be found here, on the businesswings.co.uk site.
I have to confess to being late in posting this blog article and link – and hope that Krystena will forgive me for this!
Enjoy listening – and remember that this was recorded in a “quiet” corner at a busy trade show!
