The excitement around social media often centers on the technologies—Facebook, blogs, Twitter, etc. etc. But this is the wrong approach. The power of social media is that it's about the relationships it builds and supports, not the technologies.

Rather than think about crafting a strategy around social technologies, marketers should be pondering how they can use social technologies to support a customer relationship. Getting started requires courage and is not for the faint of heart. We'll be looking at the art—and the science—of using social media to support very specific and measurable marketing goals.
