A Colleague of mine (Thanks Colleen!) pointed out a couple articles this week about Comcast and their success using Twitter as a tool to monitor and improve customer satisfaction. According to a recent Chicago Tribune article,
“…Researchers said Comcast benefited from its efforts to monitor customer feedback on blogs and Twitter so it could pinpoint disgruntled customers and address issues on a case-by-case basis…”
Like many large media organizations, customer satisfaction is key to both market and economic growth and this is another indicator that business is “getting it” and embracing emerging tools as essential to their business.
This post at Social Media Today details the Comcast/Twitter story even further with an in-depth analysis of the interactions with Frank Eliason, the man behind the Comcastcares Twitter account:
“…To date, Frank has sent 4,000 public updates to his twitter account, each under 140 characters. He answers questions as well as he can and sometimes forwards information to his office for direct follow-up…”
While the second account is one detailing a customer nightmare, it is clear that Comcast’s efforts to listen and engage directly with its customers, while not always solving the problem at hand, clearly is building stronger relationships and trust that may have not been there before.
These stories are not as isolated as they were a year or two ago and they will continue to grow rapidly over the next few years. I find that I cannot stress to our clients enough that the conversation is already happening and that the best way to minimize the bad and maximize the good is to just get in there. The tools are there and they are remarkably accessible. Ask yourself, how are you using emerging social media tools to connect with your customers? You may be surprised by how much or how little you are taking advantage of social media and no time is better than now to engage your audience.







Hey I just wanted to let you know, I actually like the composition on your web site. But I am utilising Chromium on a machine running version 8.x of Xubuntu and the design aren’t quite satisfactory. Not a important deal, I can still basically read the articles and search for information, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of tough to use with the config I’m running. Keep up the good work!
Nice to see that there are blog owners that care about their blogs and not post all kind of useless stuff but rather try to keep it clean and valuable for the sake of their subscribers. You’ve done a great job and i thank you for that and also for not traumatizing me with useless garbage and spam.You know, if you look for new ways to promote and improve you blog, i’ve open myself a corner of cyberspace and i would like to share it with you and your visitors, because it’s a good chance for anyone to learn how they can promote their websites and any online business if they have any for free or very low costs.I’m still getting it done and working on it as we speak, so it’s not as i wish but it’s a work in progress that already has value to it. If you care and wann help maybe you will link to it and why not let your friends know. It will get crazy this month cause i will give away alot of goodies.Visit:
Hey, Awesome blog you have here. I wanted to let you all know that I think Twitter is going to be one of the stronger networks because of the fact that it is supported by so many industries. I also think when Twitter reveals some of it’s new functions, returning traffic will go up to show the real growth of the network.
Anyway, I build a blog that offerers great resources for Twitter that are 100% free, so come and visit and don’t be a stranger.
Keep up the good work!
Avanti Service Manual has a virtually endless list of manufacturers, models and vintages that is so comprehensive that you will find yourself trying to catch it out by looking for your old cars on there as well as downloading the guide for your current one. With this information to hand, all you need to concern yourself with is downloading the correct manual and keeping the information close to hand for the hopefully rare occasions when a fault occurs.
It is advantageous, then, to have a repair service manual for your car, whether it is a Bugatti Veyron or a Hillman Imp. Knowing what has gone wrong with the car, and whether you can run the repairs yourself, is helpful for so many reasons. A good service repair manual will make it easier to drive with confidence, knowing that you have all the information you need to make the repair job less stressful, and possibly less expensive.

Here is a great way to use that extra zucchini you have. Zucchini makes a wonderfully moist quick bread. The addition of sweet carrots and candied ginger create a delicious depth of flavor.
