    We, even as a collective, are merely a small part of the coming storm. But we know we are on the side of right. And we look forward to the opportunity, nay the necessity, to take back social media.

    From what and whom are we taking it back?

    From industry “experts” intent on telling you how to succeed, though they don’t heed their own advice. From businesses bombarding their target audience with hard sell promotions. From those who don’t understand the value of the “share”. From individuals and industries that believe relationships can be purchased. From the uninformed who believe social business is a fad. From the uninitiated who think social business is a “when I have time” task.
