13. DISCLAIMER:
New media isn't a short-term
project, an experiment, an
event, a one-shot deal, or a
quick fix. It's not something
you throw money at, and using
it doesn't guarantee success
or influence.

47. Making it Work
Listen. Understand.
Participate. Give people a reason to come
back to you. Don’t have to be boring.
Important to understand the technology.
More important to understand the strategy.
Extend your reach. It’s not a build-it-they-
will-come mentality. Integrated marketing is
important.
