Editor's Notes
To understand the context for social media you need to understand that there has been a big change in the way businesses market themselves. Many of you may have just seen Seth Godin’s presentation.

The way in which companies will communicate with their customers in the coming years has completely changed. Now longer will it be a matter of ‘pushing’ information out to people. It’s now a matter of ‘pulling’ them to you. And you do this by sharing information.

How do you stop people from coming into a group and being negative about your club? Again, it’s a case of letting go and understanding that you can’t control what everyone says. How many of your have networks on LinkedIn for your members? Eg of the IOD.
