Comments on: The Tweeple of Home Depot http://noteasytoforget.com/2010/02/the-tweeple-of-home-depot/ Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:04:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: James Ball http://noteasytoforget.com/2010/02/the-tweeple-of-home-depot/comment-page-1/#comment-11521 James Ball Tue, 09 Feb 2010 18:05:12 +0000 http://noteasytoforget.com/?p=1257#comment-11521 Well Todd, I agree with you...and although I'm not speaking specifically about Home Depot when I say this, it would seem that it is precisely the numbers and statistics that are driving organizations to become more aware and active in social spaces. Traditional advertising and marketing methods and efforts don't produce the same yield that they once did, and social is providing some real results for many. I don’t think that it’s even a matter of “if” anymore, but instead “when” everyone in business will be present in social spaces engaged with the rest of the world. Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it!

I had that awakening myself. But what I think it slowly starting to happen is that large organizations like Home Depot are starting to see we are people too. Not just numbers and statistics. It is ok to form a relationship with the folks on the street. There is still a long way to go, but it seems a few are starting to get it... Great perspective James. I had that awakening myself.

It's good to hear that the things that I write about are helpful. No offense to Home Depot, but I certainly didn't write this today to try and give their business a boost!They are doing it right...for them. All of this is relative, I like to witness success in this space but I can only consider the success of another as an opportunity to learn. The witnessing is not truly good for much else!I enjoy sharing what I see, think, and feel from the vantage point of either \"I'm there with you now\" or \"been there, done that\"...I'm pleased that this comes across as humility and not ignorance for you. My hope is to add conversation and useful insight. Think about it, this is a revolution of sorts. Is anyone truly big enough to conquer a learning curve with such a scale as this?You comments and input are valued here Brandon.

I too believe that Home Depot is doing it right, and I applaud the personal approach taken with their presence. I also applaud the humility that you bring to the conversation and your willingness to always learn. This is a big topic for me on a personal and professional level right now, and I am striving for continued learning each and every day. Posts like this remind me that I'm not the only one that's out there trying to take it all in. You're doing it right too, James. Thank you for sharing your journey with me and including me in the conversation! Thanks for the post James.
