Often, I find, people/organisations are intimidated by the very nature of social media so sit and develop the best strategy for diving right in. I'm sure you agree Piras, and no doubt you have suggested to your readers before, participation doesn't necessarily mean plunging in boots and all. Individuals/companies get hung up developing the perfect strategy; I don’t believe there is a perfect social media strategy. Rather than waiting to execute the perfect strategy, one should begin by dipping in ones toes, developing the strategy along the way, perfecting it through participation. In saying this however, it’s all well and good to preach participation; like the EA example though, it is important to participate relevantly.
