Right now (no pun intended) I don't see why I should be pressed into "joining the club" and "exposing all" for those that feel otherwise. Wonder how it was this 2 month old blog suddenly got reinvigorated? We all use social media, but not all in the same way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854802385316039720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718419482548098451.post-60049746170920446862011-10-03T08:19:49.353+11:002011-10-03T08:19:49.353+11:00Charlie, sorry for the spelling gremlins.

They have been fixed.<br /><br />I tried my best to find everyone's Twitter handles, but given Twitter's lackluster search options, I did the best I could also polling friends to see if they were aware. I've since been told that Steve Blood from Gartner has an account but that his tweets are locked (and because it's Gartner, I assume a credit card is needed to access).Contrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803717008423919586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718419482548098451.post-89889708140233827572011-10-03T06:50:19.970+11:002011-10-03T06:50:19.970+11:00Good post, thanks for the mention and the kind wor...Good post, thanks for the mention and the kind words. Although, my name is misspelled, and I don't care about that because I am more concerned that my handle is misspelled, should be @charlieisaacs :) I also have a few other handles I started and killed, handed off, suspended, etc. because I let them go when I left my previous company. For some reason they wanted their own branding. So giving some of my colleagues the benefit of the doubt they might be in the same boat.

Big name with no credibility using others' slides and opinions.<br /><br />All hail the "borrowed-thought leader."Contrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803717008423919586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718419482548098451.post-43789296439004904072011-08-18T12:38:08.241+10:002011-08-18T12:38:08.241+10:00Another great post, but I think you miss the point...Another great post, but I think you miss the point a little on the whole social media culture. Whether or not some big wigs at the contact center vendors use social media is kind of besides the point imo. Who really relates to those guys anyway? But they (rather their engineers, marketers, etc.) understand the importance of social media and that the entrprise contact center can benefit from tie- ins, so to stay relevant and to continue selling their products, they are tying them into these 'consumer' vehicles. I for one am not a huge social media guy, but use it when necessary to fulfill some need on my part, but only a fool doesn't see it's huge popularity. For these UC nendors not to try and exploit that would be foolish. <br /><br />It is kind of funny though to see how little the top guys use these products.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
