Blogging transparently

Derek Showerman: >Social Media is supposed to be empowering. Not stifling! If you empower interactions you will see business value! Empowering will help you build better relationships! Empowering will build affinity with your peers, customers and partners. Being transparent and respectfully disagreeing is far more productive than simply ending the conversation in a direct message. Spark the debate and let others with different opinions be heard. This will build mutual respect and stronger bonds that will help you and your business down the road. Agreeing to disagree in the new business world is even more valuable then agreeing. Via @glennhilton
