Thanks for the comments.I agree that most B to B and Especially the manufacturing sector are slow adapters to new things.The industrial base needs to get in the game by trying a few things that are out there like LinkedIn or Twitter just to get comfortable with it. There is a commitment needed for social to work at any level and those that think that just by having a Face book or LinkedIn account they are participating in social will be sadly mistaken.It’s up to folks like us to help nurture them along for those that don’t jump on board will sadly be left behind.

The challenge will be meeting the demans/goals of the industrial marketplace with social media. How do we utilize the traditional social media platforms, which are characteristically used for B2C companies for B2B success.
