The most important chore of any brand is to connect with people and connect those people to information. And when it comes to your social media audience or followers, the simple way to connect your audience to information is by interacting with them, listening to them and giving a proper response on time

Is there any connection between the fact that we glorify friendship to little girls and yet when we grow up we are scrutinized for having too many or 'fake ' friends? Just wondering.
I am Right, All of You are Wrong
I really should stop reading the comment sections on... pretty much everything ever posted online. It always depresses me. Sometimes, on very few occasions, you can find witty, insightful, and constructive comments, but in 99 percent of the cases you will either find people agreeing with a simple “cool” or “you said it”, or people responding with “no, you wrong, because you stupid!” in endless variations.
What gets me the most, though, is that so many people seem to have this blind and utter conviction that everyone else has just got it plain wrong and only they (and by extension whatever ethnic, religious, cultural, political, or otherwise-defined group they consider themselves part of) have got it right. Not based on any sort of evidence, mind you, but just because!
You can find endless examples of this. Something to do with religion, abortion or homosexuality? Within the first 10 comments you’ll find someone posting something along the lines of “no, you are all sinners and will burn in hell for defying God”. Because clearly only that one highly subjective and selective interpretation of a book put together from hundreds of different sources roughly 1,500 years ago counts, everyone else goes to hell. Not restricted to Christianity, of course. Same basic principle applies to any other organized religion you’d care to name. Except maybe Buddhism. I’ve yet to meet a Buddhist who told anyone he would go to hell. But I digress.
How about anything to do with how to deal with children and education? You’ll probably get numerous religious “facts” there, too, but even leaving that aside everyone certainly has a “right” way of how children should be raised and educated (even those who have never done either) while all others are retarded and shouldn’t be allowed within a hundred feet of any children.
Economy? Oh, everybody is an economist these days. Especially when it comes to how tax systems should work, who is actually to blame for whatever current problems sting the most, and how everything would be so, so much better if they’d just follow this simple piece of advice (insert whatever over-simplified “fact” tickles your fancy, my personal favourite is “just let the market do its work unhindered”). Same goes for politics, naturally. And you won’t make it far through any comment section there before someone is accused of being a communist, a Nazi, or possibly a communist, left-wing, Muslim Nazi.
Oh, and let’s not forget about science. I mean, it’s a historical constant, I believe, that every new generation of scientists is utterly convinced they have all (or at least all the relevant) answers while at the same time ridiculing the previous generation of scientists for their absurd belief that they had all the answers. But the moment anything science-related comes up, you’ll have nuts crawling out of the woodwork either sprouting popular catch phrases (“Global Warming is a myth”, sponsored by your friendly neighbourhood pollution producer) or – again – quoting from their religious book of choice that this certainly and absolutely cannot be so because... well, because it really offends their sensibilities.
A decade or two ago this kind of stuff was thankfully restricted to the local pub where like-minded fellows gathered and sprouted off the kind of “wisdom” that adorned restroom walls and otherwise didn’t bother other people. Nowadays, tough, you find them online. And the worst part about this is that whatever outlandish “truth” you personally may sprout, you can be certain you’ll find at least a couple of people who totally know you’re right. Which can be quite dangerous, mind you, because we’re rearing a generation suffering from massive overestimation of one’s own capabilities. Because, hey, you totally have to be great at (insert whatever) when all your Facebook friends and a dozen anonymous commentators tell you so online, right?
To close this ramble about how annoyed I am by many people, a few short things to keep in mind:
- The real world is a complex system!
- Simple, easy solutions usually aren’t solutions at all!
- Do not look for facts in any kind of religious writings!
- Do not look for facts in any kind of online comments!
- Do not look for facts in catch phrases or Twitter statements!
- You do not have all the answers!
- Neither does anyone else, for that matter!
- Certainly not people who lived however many centuries ago and thought the world was flat!
- Spend at least a minute or two reading whatever you are about to comment on.
- Then spend another minute or two thinking about whatever comment you are about to write.
- If said comment contains any of the words Nazi, Hell, Sin, or God, don’t press that “Post” button.
- If you plan to use words like communist, socialist, or fascist, look them up first. Because you do NOT know what they mean and at least one of them does not apply to whatever person you were about to bestow them upon.
