I have asked a mutual contact to show me the way! I am not a fan of Ecademy. I was a member in 2004-6 but it is of limited value to me. Social Networking is about participating and if there topics of conversation are stimulating then you'll grow a strong fan base. Xing is a mystery to me too!

I use LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, plus my blogs on my own ning sites, IPAlly and Law and Social Networking. I have accounts on XING, ecademy, Plaxo and Bebo and for the life of me can't tell you why I bother. If someone can give me some tips on XING and ecademy I would really appreciate it. Nils Thanks Karen for this post.

]]> Comment on Secrets for defining your USP or differentiation by Urs E. Gattiker @ComMetrics http://www.karenpurves.com/2010/01/secrets-for-defining-your-usp-or-differentiation/comment-page-1/#comment-113 Urs E. Gattiker @ComMetrics Fri, 15 Jan 2010 10:41:44 +0000 http://www.karenpurves.com/?p=168#comment-113 Karen I just came across this post and while I know about Unique Selling Proposition, I needed a reminder. I thank you for getting it in such a nice way. I approached to get a unified message. 1. 1. Focus on a specialty - don't try to be all things to all people. 2. The ability to clearly articulate what the specialty is - benchmark smarter. Perform better (or 30 seconds pitch - one sentence explanation). 3. Consistency delivering this well-articulated message both online and offline - not a good idea to say one thing on Twitter, and another thing at a Rotary club meeting or on your Facebook page. When I read your blog post and my comment points I get reminded of this tweet I sent out: ==> People don't buy products and services, they buy solutions to problems. Hence, the USP has to help solve a problem for your customers. Sometimes easier said than done. Thanks for this post. Urs My.ComMetrics.com - benchmark your blog - improve performance Karen

I just came across this post and while I know about Unique Selling Proposition, I needed a reminder. I thank you for getting it in such a nice way.

I approached to get a unified message.

1. 1. Focus on a specialty – don’t try to be all things to all people.
2. The ability to clearly articulate what the specialty is – benchmark smarter. Perform better (or 30 seconds pitch – one sentence explanation).
3. Consistency delivering this well-articulated message both online and offline – not a good idea to say one thing on Twitter, and another thing at a Rotary club meeting or on your Facebook page.

When I read your blog post and my comment points I get reminded of this tweet I sent out:

Thanks for this post.

If I can add one ... transparency. Marketing has been shifting away from hype to authenticity and I think being more transparent or as upfront and genuine as you can as a marketer will be key to doing business in 2010. Cheers, and a Happy New Year to you! A great post, thanks, Karen.
