  5. Ditto Justin's thoughts. My life is a better place with SM platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. Thanks Amar for the fulsome profile & gathering the views of such a brilliant & diverse bunch of people who are maximising their personal and professional worlds through Twitter. More power to all!

  6. I agree... SM makes the web a better place to log in. Creates the environment for richer experiences, both online and offline.

    Thanks for the note, Belinda. Esp. nice coming from a SM star (and TV sensation) like you.

    Great to see Giapo, Julien and you on TV One #Close-Up the other night. Go Social-ati:)

  7. Well done Amar & Simon for producing a piece offering a broad set of perspectives. Our advertising and marketing fraternity needs more exposure, and a greater understand of, the pervasive nature of Social Marketing. The results we achieve (from networking through to actual $) are evident and must drive the broader shift into conversation mode. Only then will our customers discover for themselves the true nature of our brands, our people and our services.

  8. It's still growing and may take a while to go mainstream, but there's no denying Social Media marketing is a phenomenon that's here to stay.

    Call it collaboration, participation or sharing, it's clearly the way forward and changing the communications game as we know it.

    Rebecca, many thanks for your contribution to the article, as well as your meaningful comment above. Very well said. Much appreciated indeed.
