We are front-line representatives of our respective companies. Don’t you feel it’s important to know a thing or two about generating interest in a product (employment with our company)?

If it isn't a full-time position it has to be at least a defined task for one or a couple of people in the marketing and/or customer service department. In 5-10 years the shear volume of tweets, posts or IMs from customers and other stakeholders will be so great that it will be impossible to ignore. As we continue to do more with our cell phones and other portable devices companies will need to communicate with us consumers in the format we choose, in the past that has been phone, mail and email and in the future that will include blogs, Twitter, Facebook and whatever else comes down the pike.

Companies that 'get it' (like Southwest Airlines) have already created teams with catchy names like 'emerging media' to address this exact issue. The really exciting part for me is when I stumble on a small team that naturally made this progression because it made sense and they saw where the business was going long before they were told it was the right thing to do. It's those companies that I think will really leverage their presence in the 'social' market as more and more followers buy in after ground is broken and long term success is found. If you're familiar at all with the Hype Cycle you know that Twitter, as well as various other social media apps, are beginning to really push through that Slope of Enlightenment and into true productivity (plateau) as they are mastered. Exciting times for the recruiting industry, in my opinion. With major labor shortages around the corner and a generation that is almost plugged in to a point of ridiculousness ready to make their mark, I feel it's crazy for any company that is serious about it's growth and natural evolution to "wait it out" much longer.
