I've been in the advertising industry for about 15 years and have gone back to school to work on my Ph.D. I created a blog as part of a class assignment and am on Twitter etc., but haven't jumped yet (3 posts is more like a skip!) But thanks for your thoughts...I think I'll go take the leap!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-57938931929449360312009-02-07T11:35:00.000-06:002009-02-07T11:35:00.000-06:00Hi Mack - what I great post.

I've been lurking for a while - so just wanted to say that I love these ideas and will do at least one this week (and keep going)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-4272954931346413802009-02-04T14:10:00.000-06:002009-02-04T14:10:00.000-06:00Mack,My concern with Influencers is how little one...Mack,<BR/><BR/>My concern with Influencers is how little one has to do get that title. To date, most of those who are called Influencers on Twitter or in blog posts aren't business influencers by any stretch of our imagination. So what or who are these folks influencing. I doubt that many in the business world have heard of most folks on these venues who are labeled influencers.<BR/><BR/>Keep in mind the population talking to itself online is made up of a high percentage of tech folks (the Influencers I refer to are likely known in that world)and social media/social networking evangelists (most who labor in a very small business market).<BR/><BR/>In business it used to be that an Influencer had to be someone who invented something big, proved themselves to be a great leader or thinker, or was a hugely successful entrepreneur. Today, it seems having lots of Twitter followers gets one on the list. And that will lead to Influencer fatique.<BR/><BR/>This opinion is brought to The Viral Garden free of charge and might not be worth the price you paid to read it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-77586124328513452112009-02-04T10:24:00.000-06:002009-02-04T10:24:00.000-06:00All this time I thought that title meant he got up...All this time I thought that title meant he got up and wrote the posts at five in the morning.

Have found some very good resources that way. In fact, I find so much good reading material through posts like this, and of course Twitter, that I rarely even open my feed reader any more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-23999978801927193482009-02-04T07:30:00.000-06:002009-02-04T07:30:00.000-06:00Great job, Mack!Great job, Mack!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
