The early bird will get the worm, as social media is very much about establishing authority. Those organizations in first will be the first to build authority, and others will be chasing their tails from that point onwards.However, given the need for accountability and ROI within a corporate environment, I suspect many will bail out before giving social media a real chance. Building social media authority takes time, which is something I suspect most companies will fail to give it (at least in the short term).I wrote about the issue here

Great article. The adoption by large corporations is starting to pick up. What we are seeing is that many are now looking at setting up effective listening mechanisms (social media monitoring), which is a great way to start. The “powerful yet dangerous” part as you state above where there is still hesitation is when they want to move to engagement, and start joining the conversation about their brand. Several big brands are doing it right today and this is helping to create the positive case studies which will bring the rest on boarAlso, I agree with bhartzer above... all brands need to be listening & engaging in conversations about their brand.

I’ll be blunt...this post is useless without three questions being answered...no offense to the author...Does that mean Ning or Crowdvine? How do you get people to join or notice you? How do you get people to create content and participate?
