Comment on How Important is Social Media to your business? by davep.

Thanks Carol! Totally agree with your comments. Corporate PR ought to own a big slice of the Social Media pie and work hand in hand with Marketing on strategy. The Nestle incident is a great example. Whoever is on the front line of social media interaction on behalf of your organization needs to have a cool demeanor and a great sense of customer advocacy.

Ah, Dave, thinking ahead of the curve as usual. Good advice. Two things to think about when adopting social media channels is (1) It’s not an ‘either-or’ thing. Companies still need to develop clear branding initiatives to support their marketing/sales and customer outreach efforts, and (2) What a lot of companies aren’t recognizing is that the adoption of social media increases the need for developing really great internal communications programs so that anyone who’s using social media inside a company knows both the company’s policies regarding social media tools and, also, what’s going on so they can communicate it accurately. Companies used to develop Crises Communications Plan and THOSE plans need to be updated for social media channels now too. (Think about the recent Nestle scuffle with Facebook fans.) — Keep up the good work.

I think you hit the nail on the head. It seems the producers want to be all things to all people - kid-friendly, yet hip enough that they can please the teens and adults. Rob Hanson at Chrislip Journal

Comment on Considerations for a multilingual website by davep.

Laura, thanks so much for the complimentary comments. It’s definitely a challenging thing to both create a multi lingual site as well as maintain it. I’ve been ‘heads down’ recently in making site updates myself so I haven’t blogged recently. It’s timely that you commented as I’ve been researching this week the best method to route visitors from outside the US to their appropriate local language site without it being too disruptive. I think I have a solution, but the proof will be in the pudding

Thanks for the information, this was very helpful. I am currently researching how to get our very content-heavy site out to different countries with the least hassle possible. I really like the suggestion of graphics in cascading style sheets. It is also good to consider the design layout for the longer foreign words, I have run into a lot of frustration with that one!
