I predict there will soon be marketing classes about the effect of social media on buying habits. A couple of years ago my wife discovered Facebook. Her exploding network of women contacts ignores standard advertising except for coupons, and she and others go first to their Facebook pages for everything from a new couch to hamburger at the grocery to which restaurant is better. They text each other from stores where values are found. I've never witnessed such an explosion of information exchange. Since their friends and relatives are known personalities, they value those opinions over every other advertising media or product recommendation. Now I ask my wife where to buy anything I need and she checks with her buddies or already knows from her computer. I look forward to reading your blog! Thanks! Dear Patric,

Maybe I should put the question to the group as to what part of Web 2.0 you would like me to cover next. I planned on going into how to use and how NOT to use these tools next, followed by Linked In, then Facebook and finally Twitter. Let me know what you think and we can adjust things to go in the direction that all of you feel is the most appropriate. Thanks again and Best Regards, Patric Thank you for all the positive feedback.

Although I am not in the dark about social media, I am certainly not an expert. I enjoy learning from several sources and am looking forward to your next article. Thank you Patrick.

Too many people, me included, in our industry are ignoring this aspect of marketing. Looking forward for the next one. Thank you Patric for a nice introductory article on the subject.

I agree with you that many need to start at the beginning. I struggled with writing this first entry so basic as I thought it may be like explaining that 2 + 2 = 4 and some might be insulted. However, after speaking with many people I decided to start this way and build from here. Because of that, I will ask for some patience from some of you that are more proficient in the use of the tools. Thanks Susan. I agree with you that many need to start at the beginning.

Mike must have skipped the first paragraph. Although it seems at this point like all of us should have a great grasp on at least the basics of social media, after attending the recent dealer meeting and hearing the very basic, simple questions asked at the seminar on utilizing social media, I have to agree that beginning at the beginning is the best tactic. While we all know that Mike is adept at utilizing all the Web 2.0 tools available, it was clear that many of the rest of us are not or need to be prodded into taking things to the next level. Thanks Patrick for getting this started. I look forward to the next chapter. Ouch. Mike must have skipped the first paragraph.

The next entry is due soon and I plan discuss the three main tools, Facebook, Linked In and Twitter, that everyone should be participating in. After that, I plan to break down each of those tools and discuss particular ways to use each one. I am trying to take this slow and methodical so that anyone can follow this step by step. I will also include other resources that you should look into that will help you in much deeper detail with each of these tools. Thanks again David. Contact me anytime if you have any questions. David,
