I've known this for quite some time. Social media is not a good use of marketing time and money. Social media is what it is, fun socializing time, and some new clients mixed in for good measure. Sure, there is some business to be had, however, the time spent to garner a new client in social media would garner scores of news clients if the efforts were put elsewhere. HubSpot, who generally advocates social media for business, posted an article (Stop Wasting Time With Social Media) the other day providing evidence that for instance, an email contact is worth $948. as compared to a Twitter follower's worth of $3.50 Granted, the article is comparing the value of an email lead against the value of a Twitter follower, however the marketing takeaway is obvious, and to put it in the author's words, "... think of how much time you're allocating to participating in each community, with growing your business in mind..."

Colleen and I will continue our social media presence, however, like a battle ship anchored off shore. If the winds change, we'll be ready, but until then we will continue are efforts in search engine optimization, blogging, etc. How about you?

In case you have missed this, Armando Galarraga of the Detroit Tigers had a perfect game into the 9th inning last night. For those who are not baseball fans, a perfect game is when a pitcher faces 27 batters in 9 innings, and none of them reach first base. This feat has only been done 20 times in baseball history. Well, the 27th batter, of which would have been the final batter, got to first base on a bad umpire call. Click the image below for the replay. What I found remarkable is after umpire Jim Joyce saw the replays, admitted he was wrong and apologized to pitcher Armando Galarraga. Not only did Galarraga accept Joyce's apology, but did so graciously and with a smile on his face. It is unfortunate Armando Galarraga missed his perfect game, but the responses by both Jim Joyce and Armando Galarraga are priceless, true examples of class and sportsmanship.

Update:
Umpire Jim Joyce meets Armando Galarraga at home plate today, shakes hands.
