The team’s record for the last five years: 2009-10 (14-60) so far 2008-09 (24-58) 2007-08 (22-60) 2006-07 (32-50) 2005-06 (33-49) In fact, the Timberwolves have won a playoff series only one time in their 21 years of existence. A great (and yes tragic) case study.

You are indeed the perfect case study. You are indeed the perfect case study. There’s been a bit of news about it recently. Over the last 7 months I’ve certainly walked the walk of social media marketing and this post is as plain and simple as a definition gets. Jason Baer Thanks very much for the kind words.

I looked at Meltwater Buzz a couple of months back and thought it offered a better platform than Radian6 (which is a good option in itself and often used as the industry example). Expion just compiled 8 case studies with one of our clients, Applebee's. Historical data seemed more robust as well.

Ask Emmanuel Rosen , – whose revised version of Buzz Marketing should be required reading for all communicators. Or, Steve Knox and the guys at Tremor who spend massive amounts of time and energy figuring out how to make Procter & Gamble products buzz-worthy.
