Here are just a few quotes from articles I’ve read this past weekend.  Hopefully they’ll inspire you in some way…

Jeff Jarvis, Buzz Machine “…social media are changing their fundamental relationship with customers to be less about serving and more about collaborating…customers who want to talk will, and smart companies will not just listen but will engage them in decisions…” (From Business Week magazine)

This quote reminds me of my post earlier this week about the miscommunication with Amtrak:

Seth Godin: “Sometimes, we get hung up on catch phrases and jargon that work great when everyone understands what we mean, but fail to bring understanding to outsiders. Yelling louder isn't always the answer. Changing your words might work better.” (From his post, Double, double).
