- Organizations need to consider the fact that public opinion is a very potent influence, and online this is no different. Building strong ties and an effective link strategy can have a huge effect on the success or failure of an online strategy.
- Organization should consider how social media websites, blogs, and forums, can be an outlet for an organizations greatest friends and greatest enemy's.
- Organizations should consider the benefits of effective Social Media Optimization (SMO), and how SMO can create enough exposure to excel an organization as a thought leader and a credible voice in their industry.
