I thought social media was something to do with connecting users on the web, not printing statistically relevant names on products.

- jmduke 14y agoJim wants a Coke. Jim finds a Coke with his name on it! Jim says, "Hey, that's pretty neat." Jim posts an Instagram of him next to his personal Coke. Jenny sees Jim's post and comments -- "Hey, that's pretty neat. Where can I get one with Jenny on it?"
- squid_ca 14y agoThat's not "nailing" social media. That's creating a clever marketing trick and then being happy that people shared it on social media. Did PSY "nail" social media because people "Liked" his video? Did <insert group name here> "nail" social media because your aunt forwarded their spam to you? Did some band "not nail" social media because their video didn't go viral? Coke advertised their product. Some people got excited, and told their friends on social media. Just like other things. Coke didn't do anything special with social media, they just counted on people using it. Big deal.
