WELLS FARGO: PARTICIPATION FOR REAL comments by David Armano

This really is a very good post, on the key topic of the day. Companies have been "participating" in social media for awhile...if you mean blasting content out on facebook with no follow through on the comments and activity. Time for that to change! Leading companies are now dedicating staff to social media outreach and real participation. Video with David Armano to follow. Stay tuned!

Wells Fargo Shows Us How To Design For Participation

I just came across the very newly launched Wells Fargo Wachovia blog. Right off the bat, I noticed three things:

1. There are real people here
2. They want to talk to me
3. They are making it very easy to talk to them

Call for participation may be the new call to action when it comes to communicating using social technologies and as I've said before—companies who invest by putting REAL LIVE PEOPLE behind there efforts are the ones that understand the real work which goes behind an initiative like this.

Blog aside, this seemingly small execution is symbolic in my mind. I haven't seen something like this before and of course, I left a comment right away. In seconds. Kudos on the execution Wells, one small step for blogging, one giant step for participation.
