32. Final Thoughts Ideas that are spread through and by groups of people are far more powerful than ideas delivered to an individual, or by an individual. Don’t think of Social Media as something that only happens online – it’s a mesh of online activities and physical meetings. Learn to lose some control – in return for greater reach. Real engagement is when people do things for you that you didn’t ask them to.
