		<description>I think #1 and #3 need to be connected, and I think that&#039;s one of the biggest failings I keep seeing on Twitter.  Companies might be following their businesses but very few seem to know how to handle customer complaints in the open field and thus they fail miserably when the consumer lambastes them publicly.  This is a battle I&#039;ve had with a couple of businesses on Twitter, and it&#039;s a major shame.</description>

		<description>Massive awesome points in this article. I love to play with social media when it comes to titles and mentioning content too.  Chris G. is amazing to watch for this kind of thing.  He&#039;ll do a twitter blast with a bunch of tweets, all to the same article, but with different ways to tease people into reading it.

It&#039;s awesome and I&#039;ve noticed it.  Picking up on it was the most exciting day - my days are pretty awesome huh?</description>

		<description>I agree, being able to provide great customer service just cannot be underestimated. And monitoring social mentions to help you out in this area is a really great idea.

One important point not to forget is that you don&#039;t need to wait for something negative to come up before you interact with your customers. Use social media to interact with customers that are &quot;bigging you up&quot; too.

I think you can get a lot from basing your social media strategy on providing great customer service first, because this can drive tons of traffic to your website/ blog naturally. If you&#039;re looking to drive traffic first, and just do a bit of &quot;customer service&quot; work on the side, you might find the traffic harder to come by.</description>

		<description>Yes! I actually do have a business that uses social media as an avenue to connect with clients. I believe that social media sites are the best way to interact with prospective clients. I consider Social Media as another means of advertising medium. Surely, it is indeed rewarding to promote your offers using these types of sites, but a great return on investment can only be obtained by creating groups, publishing valuable articles, conversing and being attentive with what your customers say about your products and services.</description>

		<description>Great summary.  I think the other thing that should not be underestimated is the opportunity to use social media to LEARN.  If you sell real estate, you can learn how to network and find leads.  If you manufacture widgets, you can learn about new production technology.  If you run a restaurant, you can learn good hiring techniques for wait staff.  And on it goes.  People need to think about social networking (in addition to the tips you have provided) as an opportunity to be involved in conversations that allow you to share knowledge, but also to consume knowledge.</description>

		<description>Its great to read a good post which comprehensively tells you how to use social media and why.  You keep hearing how social media is important and that it is a must.  Few people though go into any depth about the hows and whys.</description>
