Fear will no doubt govern the landscape in 2010 as it relates to moving forward with your social media initiatives or lack thereof. Take comfort in the idea that – you are not on an island by yourself. Take comfort in the idea that fear has a place in the conversation. But, so does courage. The cool thing about taking action in 2010 is that many have blazed a trail – it may not be the exact trail that you or I would blaze and in the same respect it’s a good starting point.

Great post Mike!
It is important that people understand they are not alone and “that fear has a place in the conversation.” It's okay to be unsure, and to make mistakes. However, it's not okay to sit back and do nothing.

So true – I think it fair to say that people will still rent apartments from companies that choose not to participate in new media. The question will be – could they have rented more, for more and more efficiently. That is not to mention the retention piece.
So – fail fast is past – it's fail now take a bow, get up dust off and jump right back in. The cool thing is that the road map of content is out there. A few hours on MFI and a person could walk away with a fully fashioned plan to enter the space with a little more confidence.
I am excited to see what comes of 2010 in this space.
Stay warm.
