Why Social Media Are Important to the Business

Nifty YouTube video circulating around that does a fine job of presenting data on social media—how it’s changing the culture of communications and so necessarily the way companies need to shift the way they market their products and services. It also explains in global terms why I’m doing what I’m doing, sitting here on the System Center and Virtualization marketing team, tinkering w/ social media programs and initiatives, trying to find the right mix for our business and audience.

If you haven’t connected yet to our Facebook and Twitter pages and feeds, I invite you all to do so—we’re just getting started with all this, and need your help to turn it into something other than the basic broadcast engine it currently is.

Enjoy!

About davemorehouse

Born in Minnesota and reared in Alaska, Dave went on to college in Claremont, California and grad school at UW in Seattle. After a stint yodeling in the Swiss Alps (and, incidentally, organizing biotech events), he found himself back in Seattle, getting involved in tech just as the Great Internet Bubble burst, coming to Microsoft in 2000 to work on the Windows 2000 Web team. Since then, he’s had various stints at Microsoft.com, including posts in Web publishing and site management, and has also spent a great deal of time and energy focused on the ins-and-outs of online communities and leveraging the new technologies that are emerging to support them. Now in System Center Marketing and applying his Web and communities experience to the priorities of an actual Microsoft business group, Dave looks forward to deepening his relationships with customers wherever they choose to be active on the Web and off, and drive toward a better, more integrated set of tools and resources to support the diverse needs of the community.
