Thanks to you Brian, I just ordered 20 copies. Thinking of giving one each to 1 500 customers. Any good deals with the Clay Bridges to be done?

Inspirational. Anyone hanging on the fence deciding whether to get into the social game need not waiver. For those already in the game, pure reinforcement. Thanks Brian.

Hey Brian, can't thank you enough for contributing the forward to the book, it was definitely a pleasure to read and I'm really honored to have your name on the front cover. I really hope we can get together soon in SF, hopefully outside the chaos of one of the many events we see each other at.

Thanks again Brian!

Brian, This is a great foreword. I think you touched on each of the important aspects of social media. As a student, I find that many businesses are simply signing up for social sites just to hop on the band wagon, and not doing anything with them. It is such a waste of an important business opportunity. I really enjoyed this particular line “Indeed social media is a privilege and with it comes great responsibility (and accountability).” I think that many people often forget what a responsibility social media is. I think that accountability is something people are going to continue to struggle with as social media expands. Thanks for a great post!

Great foreword. Thanks to your blog and your book, I am becoming more and more excited to enter the evolving PR world. Your ability to put everything so neatly and concisely into context is so effective. “Our rewards are measured in relationships and reﬂective in communities and activity. Our failures are documented in the words and actions of inﬂuencers and visualized through the state of social capital and market share.” Once again, thank you so much for your intelligence!

Brian,

I am in my final year as a public relations student, and throughout the last six months I have begun to more proactively explore the social media world. Your blog has been one that I continue to follow and learn from.

I agree with your opening statement here, that “social media has democratized and equalized inﬂuence and the ability to inspire action and establish vibrant and dedicated communities around a sense of purpose and belonging.” With the advent of all these social networks, we have all been given a voice with an equal chance of being heard – if you know how to use it.

Social media can be very intimidating at first – there are so many diffrerent sites and conversations happening that you can feel very overwhelmed and lost. However, like you point out here, once you find the influencers you want to follow and determine exactly where, who or what you want to achieve, you can really appreciate and thrive on the benefits that social media has to offer.

“This is very much our moment in which we are empowered to shape how history remembers us” is a powerful and inspirational thought. Thanks for your great posts.

Andreas, thank you…if we are not productively contributing to a meaning revolution, we are undermining it.

I loved this line in particular, which really gets at the crux of the matter: “Actions speak louder than words and thus, we earn the relationships, inﬂuence, and the reputation we deserve.” I think the concept of maximizing social media is still baffling to many. It's frustrating to see people/companies simply joining these networks to meet the status quo.

(I must admit, the book title might have won me over, as well.)

Thanks Brian,
for this great “exposure” on Social Media. It is the first thing that I have read and HEARD in 6 months, that addresses the deeper strata of a meaningful future for this medium. You are addressing 'integration' and 'synthesis' in Social Media in terms of what I like to call the 'meaning revolution'. It is such a relief to see someone with an integral grasp of these issues…
