Blogging Innovation » What Works about Rework.
y Kevin Roberts
Books on business strategy are usually packed with vague abstractions and useless buzzwords. That’s why I enjoyed Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson’s book Rework so much. It’s a no-nonsense collection of business wisdom from the two founders of 37signals, a wildly successful software company. Like any provocative book, I found plenty to disagree with, but I also found a lot of smart advice.
For instance, Fried and Heinemeier Hannson advise business leaders to “Ignore the Real World.” This is their reply to all those pessimists who insist that a new idea could never work in the “real world.” The authors get it exactly right when they explain that “the real world isn’t a place; it’s an excuse. It’s a justification for not trying.”

Get Started in Social Media by Establishing Relevance Harvard Business Review
>Before you establish a company Twitter account or start a Facebook page, step back and think about what messages will be relevant to your customers or potential customers. If your brand and your communications aren’t useful or interesting to them, you might as well be tweeting into a black hole. Start by understanding the conversations that are already happening around your brand. Then craft messages accordingly.

Wikinomics – You don’t have to engage in conversations to succeed (on Twitter)

Wikinomics – You don’t have to engage in conversations to succeed on Twitter.
It seems that every day a new article (or blog post) comes out about how brands are using Twitter wrong. This article from a few weeks ago delivers this message in a typical way – saying that Twitter consists “primarily of two-way conversations – marketers can be doing so much more to participate fully in this two way medium” (and the Twitter whitepaper it links to is fairly interesting). Marketers are being told to engage and converse – and to do so quite frequently.
