		<description>Thank you. Your reasoning makes perfect sense. That balance of perceived risk and misunderstanding of how to use the social tools is a tricky one. The companies/brands that &quot;get it&quot; are doing it. The rest are peeking out from the blinds. 

I&#039;m glad to hear the value of this community manager role is at least slowly sinking in. It does require a unique skill set. I wonder is business schools have caught on yet. Where are we training the community managers of tomorrow?

I couldn&#039;t agree more with your Facebook comment. I&#039;d add, the only thing worse would be not interacting with a page created by fans of your brand. Not naming any names here :)</description>

		<description>Mykl,
I think there&#039;s a shift in the direction of adding a Community Manager or Social Media Strategist (whatever the position is called). But it&#039;s beginning with companies that are primarily online. 

My guess is that it will be slow in coming for large enterprises are for 2 reasons:
1 - as we heard last night it&#039;s difficult for a big brand to let one person be the voice of their customers &amp; the company (maybe it&#039;s. hard to envision that person? maybe it&#039;s hard to let go of the message to entrust someone with that responsibility?

A comment was brought up that if something goes wrong then the Comm Mgr gets blamed. I don&#039;t agree. If the exec level &amp; management support the position &amp; realize it&#039;s value then they will support their comm mgr. This is imperative because there will be times when things are dicey. The majority of the time I represent &amp; advocate for the customers. But this needs to be done in a professional way (just as much as working with the customers is done similarly).
It is a position requiring someone with tact &amp; excellent communication skills.

2) It seemed that the panel are using social media tools for product improvement. Until the shift is to marketing &amp; the goal is to truly build relationships with the customers then it&#039;s safer to just use the tools without engaging directly with the customers. But until then is the social media engagement as effective as it could be? I got the impression from the panel this was what they were searching for...

In time more &amp; more companies will realize the value that comm mgr&#039;s provide. There are new job postings on a regular basis. In my opinion, the worst thing a company can do is to create a community or Facebook group &amp; then not interact there.</description>

		<description>I appreciate your insights. I&#039;m still sorting through my thoughts about the event. It seemed to me that Gary Koelling from Best Buy &quot;gets it&quot; but the other companies represented could benefit greatly from more direct social involvement. I agree completely with your points about Community Managers. Why do you think there aren&#039;t more Community Managers in the Enterprise space?</description>
