This is a really important question, and as usual, the answer is: "It depends." Technically, I scored a -2 (Chris Pirillo Rickroll'd me). However, I do feel differently about Zappos and Marriott as a...

I work as part of the digital team at Porter Novelli, and so take a keen interest in what actual impact social media market has. I also scored -2, actually I probably score -100 for I have been...

Great question! The scoring you propose here only deems "mattering" as taking an immediate action based on the ethics or elegance of their social media campaigns or the good or bad experience of a few...

Hi Marina. Sometimes I Rickroll myself, just to have a musical interlude during my day. Let me summarize and reframe your comment to answer the question, "how can you make social media matter?" Use to...

Goose egg. My sense is that social media in its different forms is a cross between street-cred and brand shine marketing. For some industries, such as traditional publishing, it's a way of saying (for...

-2 for the rick roll for me. As Marina points out, one may feel better about Zappos without buying their product. Social media is rarely about direct reponse, it relates to the fuzzier brand...

Peter, I think your initial question is flawed. Who really expects, except in direct marketing or coupons, to be able to see a direct one-to-one connection between marketing and purchase behavior? And,...

Adam Daniel Mezei sent me. I scored -2, and it's only because I've been rickroll'd. And I could point you to hundreds of people I know personally, all of them real estate professionals, who drive their...

I scored a BIG FAT 0, although I did watch more Aqua Teen Hunger, but not a regular viewer (I'm sorry I like the show). Good question, especially if you're not interacting with tens or hundreds of...

Peter, I love the general direction you're going with this! I have bought shoes from Zappos because of their fun 'Twitters'. However, I don't need a camera, blender, cable company (I have direct TV and...

Hi Jim - I think you're right on (and I think it's OK that you watch cartoons - that's why they call it adult swim, right?). The analogy to early web sites and hackneed's point about ancillary support...

Hi Jill - thanks for sharing! And for any market research-types who may be reading this and cringing about statistical significance or self-reporting...boo hoo.

The problem is, there's a couple of very important variables that aren't being considered: 1 - How many companies are using social media to augment or with their existing marketing efforts? 2 - How...

I don't necessarily think it's a matter of acting on something after you find out new info. In a lot of those cases, it reinforces my decision to continue not buying from them or continue buying from...

I scored a 0 (as in zero). I like my cable provider (Time Warner), have been buying shoes from Zappos before there was Twitter, already choose Southwest and Marriott as first choices when traveling,...

Hi Peter, Couple questions about the methodology here...and I have not stopped to add up the points, but seems to me the questions skew toward negatives action versus positive action. Is there a reason...

Hi Mack and Ivana - I can accept the point that we're still early in the game. Greg Verdino posted recently on Gartner's "Hype Cycle" and it seems to me we're coming down from the "peak of inflated...

Richard - your perception is wrong. E.g. "Bought shoes from Zappos" and "Bought a Blendtec" are both positive and both in the +3 category. (Are you sensitive at the portrayal of Dell Hell?) By my...
