The best way to move your message
Social sharing tools broaden the reach of your message by allowing people to pass it along. While research shows that social sharing tools are extremely effective, their effect poses a quandary for the marketer: should I lubricate or participate? If your job is to bring participants together, then lubricate. This means adding features that make it easier for others to pass it on. Are you an expert in the industry or product you're representing? If you are, then participate. If you're not, then find someone in your organization that is and get him or her involved.
