Klout has always been out for me. Thanks for verbalizing some of my thoughts. This article written in French also helped me feel better about not liking Klout. http://communicationsetinternet.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/les-influbranleurs-pour-faire-desenfler-leurs-chevilles-retirez-le-klout/ Couldn’t agree with you more.

]]> Comment on A Closer Look at Social Buying and Your Business by Brian Rotsztein http://www.sandyksidhu.com/2010/11/05/social-buying-and-business-advantages/comment-page-1/#comment-822 Brian Rotsztein Fri, 16 Sep 2011 21:50:09 +0000 http://www.sandyksidhu.com/?p=955#comment-822 Great article, Sandy (as is the more current one which I also read)! I have researched group buying sites on a somewhat superficial level for clients over the past year or so. Recently, several clients were getting more serious about them and so I dug deeper. I have found extremely little to write home about. Companies like Groupon have almost nothing to lose while small business retailers go crazy trying to fulfill the orders. Many are going bankrupt or are close to it. It's insanity! There's so much more under the surface of these deals. Also, one note of clarification. It's my understanding that the group buying companies pay the retailers on a periodical basis, over months, after the deal of the day was launched. This obviously has several negatives associated with it as well. Great article, Sandy (as is the more current one which I also read)!

I think social became less social when more and more businesses (small or large) came on board and just want to use them to broadcast, as they do on other channels. I'll check out your network, sounds interesting. Thanks for stopping by, Sandy So true.

The next generation is all about social..I think it's intuitive to them and 'normal' and something they do without questioning it. Great meeting you and hope to see you at the next one!

Posting nothing but self-serving links, not responding to comments, and so on. I've been around for awhile, so I remember the birth of a lot of social platforms and know exactly what you mean about the value of actually physically connecting to the people in your community - it seems a social network is always at its best when it is just starting up. The people feel more inclined to meet, participate, and make genuine connections rather than simply "like" something and move on. I started CanadaSocialNet for this exact reason and, although its just in its infancy, I'm hoping to see positive connections being made through its use. Feel free to check it out - feedback is appreciated. :) Great post - will share. I find that not only companies, but sometimes individuals, become almost disconnected from their online “friends”.
