		<description>This is the stellar video - I really like the vision of the company; 

1. One Team
2. One Plan
3. One Goal
4. One Ford

You don&#039;t have a great product offering without a vision and that vision cannot be executed without great people.</description>

		<description>Re replacing fan forums with our own: nothing could be further from the truth. There is a limitation in terms of where we can interact with people, though. While we can only make it to so many external sites, a central hub allows us to have more conversations in one place.</description>

		<description>On the surface, I like what Ford is doing to become more accessible, authentic and transparent. Read somewhere this week that the company is making videos of the new TV spots available to employees to embed in their blogs and other social networking sites. It sets a good precedent and illustrates how Ford is engaging it&#039;s workforce in helping to promote the brand. And let&#039;s face, if you&#039;re working in the auto industry these days, you&#039;ve got a stake in the success and/or failure of the company. 

As for the amount of time we as consumers have to talk about these brands with our friends and followers... I do think that companies are leveraging the small amount of brand loyalty that might still exist among some in older demographics. So instead of trying to be an interruption in people&#039;s lives, agencies and companies are looking for ways to get people to experience the brand and bring along their friends for the ride. That&#039;s what social media does for companies that traditional media can no longer do... and do well.</description>
