form of affinity,” Scott Kepler, CTO Context Optional
28. 1. I hit the like button on pages all the time.
I like your picture. I like the fact you had
fun on your vacation. It doesn’t mean I
want to get into a long involved
conversation or see all your vacation
pictures.
29. 2. I like the jeans you are selling on your
website. I like them because I already own
a pair. I am not giving you permission to
contact me and try to sell me something or
to suggest to my friends that they should
buy them because I like them.
30. 3. I like the book you just read. I would like
to buy a copy. It would save me time if by
liking this book someone would contact me
from Amazon with a link to quickly allow
me to buy it.
31. 4. “Liking” something can have any number
of meanings. Unless FB comes up with a
solution for the problems caused by the
misinterpretation of these meanings, the
Like button will quickly become a nuisance.
– Mark Cuban, blog maverick

and explore. Great content, consistently
delivered, will create fans.

that this is an even better way to engage
with customers than Twitter is. Robert Scoble

because they identified with his title:
“They were the sort of people who were also
fans of such inane but popular Facebook fan
pages as “Punching Things” and “I hate it
when I get fingerprints all over my phone.”
• This Facebook popularity has had hardly
any impact on book sales
95. There needs to be a balance of being in
control and being in touch. The more in
control the brand is, the less in touch they
become. Marketers are most likely to
succeed and be "in touch" when they let
consumers be in control.
