Stop Talking About Social Media

Even though I think Seth Godin is brilliant I tend to get a bit tired of his quite preaching style. However, when he's brief I enjoy it. Like when he says Make a decision.

It doesn't have to be a wise decision or a perfect one. Just make one.

I'd like to apply that thought to social media - because I think it is time to stop talking about why companies should use it and start doing it. I admit I am guilty of having talked about it, but I am trying to quit.

Rather than talking, teaching, preaching about possible strategies and benefits, let's focus on ideas and conducting them. Sure, there are really smart projects being conducted within social media, and sure, there are still things that need explaining.

But I am certain there could be a whole lot more fun social media projects if we'd just stop talking and start doing.

    You have a good point. I always refer to Godin as the prime example of a modern priest.

    @Elia I didn't want to be too dissing with everbody's guru, but yep he is a priest. And he does get tedious at times :).

    No worries. He's not my guru. I diss him when I get the chance. ;)
