Do what you do best, just do it online.

What are your competitive advantages? Exceptional customer service? Technology above all else? Quality. Quality. Quality.? Knock Knock Jokes? Well whatever your competitive advantage may be, you can reach out better, faster and wider online.

Let us take SouthWest Airlines for example. With a large part of their competitive strategy surrounding customer service, the company found a way to take their work online and make it explode. As one of the very successful companies using social media, SouthWest truly portrays how you can take what you do best, and do it better with the help of social media. In this article, SouthWest VP gives all the social media fledglings out there 10 lessons to get on top and stay there.

Quickly catching on, other airlines have also more recently started to embrace social media and the power of the ‘App’. In this more recent article, Ms Porter Gale of Virgin Atlantic further emphasizes the importance of twitter and facebook in connecting with your consumers and creating a more prominent online presence for yourself.

You know you have a competitive advantage. Now tell the world about it.

With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility.

One New Year’s resolution that we think everyone should take on is to become more aware; of the world, your country or even just your neighbors. With the amazing things that Social Media can do today, being aware is hardly as difficult as it used to be. Thus when Twitter helped the fact that Justin Bieber liked Maple Syrup spread like wildfire across nations, we truly understood the power of social media.

So using this power aptly, YouTube is taking the reigns on keeping us up to date about the protests in Egypt. With the introduction of CitizenTube, a channel devoted entirely to these protests as well as a homepage glaringly promoting spotlight videos from local news channels, YouTube has taken its promise to keep us aware very seriously.

Today the power of social media is all-encompassing. From our initiatives to promote awareness about housing in Haiti or even just an inspiring brand, we understand that power. Here at Freedom we believe in using our powers for the good, and that is exactly what Youtube is doing. So we give citizen tube a big thumbs up!
