		<description>Brian,

Great list for any brand looking to get started.

Regarding listening, I am glad to see that you mention also paying attention to what is being said about competitors.  It appears some companies never get quite there, or they are mis-balanced -- Maybe listening about the others too much.

Awareness is the goal there, not necessarily imitation.

I appreciate your sharing resources to utilize for listening. 

Looking forward to your session at SMSS12! :)

		<description>Yes, I like the concept of every brand having a &quot;persona&quot; or &quot;individuality&quot;. I think in the near future, brands will be like &quot;friends&quot; and people will connect with them like they do on facebook. </description>
