WTF? ;) I agree whole-heartedly with your conclusion. Furthermore: language is mother of culture. The death of language, is the death of culture. I think it's efficient that these events are simultaneously occurring. That way, we won't notice what we're missing. How sad, really. Who has the time to read such a long-winded post??? WTF?

I agree whole-heartedly with your conclusion.

Furthermore: language is mother of culture. The death of language, is the death of culture. I think it’s efficient that these events are simultaneously occurring. That way, we won’t notice what we’re missing. How sad, really.

It's a get-rich-quick fad that will be beaten by anti-spam solutions and downright determination of users to block spammers. In my humble opinion, anyway.

I don’t think the spammers will be the death of Twitter, just to the automaters. It’s a get-rich-quick fad that will be beaten by anti-spam solutions and downright determination of users to block spammers. In my humble opinion, anyway.

My point is that if a business can't afford any type of customer service other than automation, maybe they shouldn't attempt to provide customer service. Regardless of all the programmed options being utilized, the business that serves me personally, from a person to a person, is ALWAYS going to get my preferred business.

This is exactly how I feel. Exxxxxactly. And just can't stand the thought of it. The whole thing about social media and how it has and is changing the face of marketing is that consumers no longer want to be broadcast to ... well, in my opinion, when you use these tools, that's exactly what it is. Totally lessens your cred, in my book and, I truly believe, in the minds of your customers as well. Social media = transparency = engagement = connecting = BEING there, for real, not booking your engagement so that you can be sure and "reel 'em in, even when you're sleeping." Blech. Makes me wanna barf. Have I told you lately that I love you? Are we freaking twins or WHAT? This is exactly how I feel. Exxxxxactly. And just can’t stand the thought of it.

Social media = transparency = engagement = connecting = BEING there, for real, not booking your engagement so that you can be sure and “reel ‘em in, even when you’re sleeping.”

Blech. Makes me wanna barf.

Have I told you lately that I love you?

I totally agree! I remember writing a post once entitled: Social Media Dead in 2020: May it Rest in Peace... I discussed my opinion, which supports your 100%, about how social media will be dead soon just like many other deceased trends and fashions... Good post. Keep up the good work :) “It stands to reason that the automation of social interaction is, by definition, the death of it.” I totally agree!

I find that a lot of small businesses want to use social media to get connect with their customers but don't have the time because they're so busy running their business. Social media can't level the playing field if only large companies can afford to hire dedicated, in-house, non-automated social media people, but this results in automation and outsourcing by the little guys.
