Quote from David Armano’s piece:
“In the past few months I’ve noticed a trend. Organizations of all shapes and sizes are appointing people into “social media” positions. From VP’s of Social Media, to Social Media editors, etc. It’s indicative of the fact that businesses are taking the space very seriously and making investments to grow capabilities. But if you dig a little, you’ll often times find that some (not all) of the people placed in these positions have very small “footprints” in the space. A recently created Twitter profile with a very short history, a presence on Facebook that looks like an unfurnished apartment, no blog to speak of. You get the point. And it’s got me thinking. Should the people who lead the charge within your organization be active participants in the medium? Does it really matter?”
I left my own comment at on his site. I found this via Dirk at Herd.
