Brandon Thomas’s Summary

Online marketing is undergoing a seismic shift, from traditional one-to-many mediums such as websites and email, to many-to-many mediums such as blogs and the rest of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_web">social web</a>. It no longer matters how loud you talk; but rather it matters how you manage the relationship.

Opportunity is ripe for organizations to take advantage of growing online communities to identify your constituency, engage them in action, and empower them to evangelize your idea throughout the social web. My want is to help organizations architect this community strategy, and then compile the tactics to execute, from Twitter to blogs to Facebook.
