I think that the last point was a really good one that deserves a comment. Getting professional help is something everyone should do who is trying to build a brand. These professionals are highly trained in what they do. Your image and brand is essential to your success, so it would be wise to consult a trained professional.

Hi all, I've just come to this post a little late but read all these comments with great interest as am part of a company that provides a social media platform to business. We are also finding it a challenge at times to promote the use of social media upstairs. We find this is mainly from, understandably busy CEO's and people who see the value of, and know there is a social media world out there, but do not yet use it, or are not sure how to use it for their company. I think this will change in time but great going Gary for embracing it early. It is surely going to impact business activity in the very near future. Our thinking is that we can make social media more digestible by concentrating and categorising all the valuable information you need, in real time into one social space – rather than having to hunt around for it on Twitter, YouTube, Digg, etc. If you're interested I'd be happy to fill people in or you can check out Wadja.com. Would be very happy for any feedback!

Gary has a very valid point. It is extremely difficult to lead AND input content. Always a balancing act with time but @markvanbaale also has a good point. People are more interested in people more than they are in follow brands. A comment from gary from Dupont has more impact than a comment from a faceless organization. My two cents…

Really good suggestion. We do have an active Twitter account under DuPont.

We're all still learning — that's what makes it fun, in my opinion, anyhow! Thanks for reading, Mark.
