All this social media crap sucks!!! there is a real world out there you know, getting out there & meeting people - "real" people, you won't see life sitting in a social media bubble (which WILL burst anytime now) where the computer saps your energy away!! Get a life before its too late!!!!!!!!
Wow - if you folks are sold by this I need to start my own agency. All this video has done is to pull together some very questionable stats in a compelling manner to convince folks that social media is a must have for B2B companies.
First of remember who is producing the video - these folks want to sell you a service.
Secondly, most of their references are applicable to B2C marketing and they toss in a B2B 'fact' every now and then to try to tie the two together.
@billowendesign I agree on the stats being a "bit" questionable a per comment below, the promo is good though although breaks in quarters with something unexpected would help, it's a bit long, who ask me anyway?... ha
One of the best B2B videos I have seen in the last 5 years. Inspirational for me. I am going to deep six every video I have done in the last 2 years and follow your lead.
Thanks for the comments, our goal in this video is to show more reasons why B2B should be using social media...Other great videos are available that make the case for Social Media as well. We appreciate everyones comments and will take those into consideration for our next release.
Nate and Randy, you always do a great job of providing information. Now, you asked for feedback and here it is - the music doesn't make we want to keep watching. I would suggest that the visuals vary so they aren't predominately slide decks just coming in at varying transitions. Nate and Randy you are information rock stars! ~ Donna
The statistics speak for themselves. What needs to be evaluated is, how many individuals actually are conducting purchases via links sent over facebook, twitter, myspace, and the rest. africasiaeuro[dot]com
41% of business owners say that Twitter delivers great value? Where did that come from? A recent WSJ article (3/16/10) referenced 19% of business owners reporting in 2009 that they lost money on social media, with 53% breaking even or less than even. Only 22% reported creating value/profit, with a number of non-respondents.
Double check all your facts, go back to the drawing board, and don't lift so much of the Socialnomics video. This video would repel me from hiring you.
Pull all the references to consumers if you're talking B2B.
The SEO mentions are irrelevant unless you tie in effects of social media links to SER.
Your 93% stat of population <40 in social networks is simply wrong. There isn't even 93% connectivity in the US, let alone for billions who will go to bed hungry in China, India, North Korea, Africa. But 93% belong to social networks? This figure wouldn't even be accurate if "social networks" included simply being part of a family.
Agree on the techno music...overused. The content is relevant certianly, even if some is overlap of other sources; what you don't offer however, is how to actually ENGAGE! Our company has a profile everywhere, my LI is pretty robust, I try to tweat, post, update, etc...but who is LISTENING to all this crap? I have yet to have someone call me and say they "found me" online...any suggestions for a firm selling high-end consulting services to mid-cap thru F500???
This is fabulous, Nate! I had absolutely no idea SMM had gotten so huge. Sure, I knew it was big, but not THIS huge. My favorite stat was that Facebook would be the 3rd largest country in the world (larger than the US). Since I'm relatively "old" in the social media world, the music isn't fabulous for me, nor are the quick-split, fractured graphics but I understand that it appeals to far more of the people who will be viewing it and doesn't bother me at all. Thanks, again.
Luke, what sort of music would you suggest? This is a first go at focusing on B2B. The stats are focused in that direction. Yes, socialnomics was the inspiration, but the content is very different if you take a good look. But as you can imagine, some of the stats overlap. Thanks for the feedback, let us know how we can improve it for the next version!
bclicky.com is also good for business to business networking.

"93% of the world's population under 40 have joined social networks"
What - even the 50% of the world living on a dollar a day or less, while starving in India, China, Africa...? Joined social networks huh??
