@KaryD Oh I’m totally guilty on content curation. Hopefully no one looks at my web history when it comes to THAT term =P

Point taken about planning, and sentiment is huge…..you’re right that at the end of the day this is about social, and everything comes secondary to that (including the algorithims)

@KaryD I will pay you $100 if you have a kid and name it Hashtag. Might be the BEST idea ever.

@Sean McGinnis @KaryD @Jessica Hume One cannot be 100% perfect 100% of the time. Though one tries. *weeping*

Agreed. Something I’ve wrestled with and thought a lot about. And the radio geek inside me loves even more how you tied it to that documentary.

@belllindsay I’ve thought about that so often Lindsay, and the reason it happens is because the Comm. Mg(s) aren’t connected 24/7… You HAVE to be connected enough to know that you MAY have to drop everything when something HUGE happens. I guess I feel the same way about Calendars as I do Automation and Geoff’s post on that (http://geofflivingston.com/2013/01/08/automation-killed-the-social-media-star/) came to the same result: automation = useful, rigid automation = doesn’t work.Sorry, that’s as articulate as I can be this early in the am.

@jasonkonopinski @LaurenVargas Jason, You do client work? How quaint. How do you find the time?

@KaryD @Jessica Hume I blame your Canadian editor.

@KaryD I aim to please.

But it has to be “legal” first….

@JoeCardillo Yeah, ok…you got me on “content curation.” Guilty as charged.

Absolutely! Content should inspire action – thought, discussion, etc. This is the essence of building community (hope that’s not a bad buzzword Perhaps a distinction here is “auto-curation” vs. “human planing” (trying to avoid curation, there.) As one who reads post by post when doing any sort of analysis (especially sentiment) I know that we’ve yet to find any bot that can do that. This is the SOCIAL web. Humans are social. Robots are not.

P.S. Any day that I can inspire a rant is a good one indeed. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and continuing the conversation.
