Nothing to Say Here

Maybe it's because I just wrote a 50+ page report on the social software market, maybe it's because I just organized my 200+ social media feeds but I can't think of a lot to say this week that would really add to the conversation. Chat, chat, chat - yeh, we all know that talking to our customers - and really listening are important by now (shouldn't we have already known that?!?)

What I did notice by organizing my feeds is that social media and community blogs focused on PR/Marketing Communication blogs far exceed the number of social media blogs focused on customer support, market research, product innovation, HR, or collaboration.

So - I'll ask you to participate this week. What blogs have you seen about social media or communities focused on something other than outbound marketing? What are the blogs the really discuss the practicalities of bringing more conversational tools into existing operations - dealing with the data implications, the cultural implications, the measurement implications?

Please leave a comment about your favorite non-marketing blogs. Thanks!

Oh, thank you for saying this! I'm sure so many of us have been thinking it. If you find good stuff, will you post it?

Does this fit the bill? Not about marketing but about the need for design of the new "hybrid" places.

I'd recommend Ross Dawson's blog, Trends in the Living Networks

Hi Alexandra, Dan, & Larry -

Thanks for stopping by! Dan - great blog and yes, it qualifies as a non-marketing oriented blog. Larry - Ross Dawson's blog is excellent and one I have not tripped across before so thank you for surfacing. Full of great stuff!
