Tommy & Sara talk about a newspaper in Maryland that moved all their web presence form their corporate website to Facebook. A bold move dumping their website but if you think about it, it maybe a smart move! They are taking their stories and content to where their readers are instead of making their readers leave Facebook to go get the content.

Jess & Tommy talk about an article in INC magazine on the online home made / vintage selling site Etsy. Anyone can launch and sell on etsy.com but if you grow too large and have to outsource the production of such goods, you can not sell on the site any longer. Jess then turns the discussion to social selling and the “sell at home” marketplace. Makes you think how important social media and relationships are to the selling and buying process. Do you take recommendations for friends and family before you make purchasing decisions? Please be part of the discussion. Use #redshoespeaks in twitter or comment below!

Kevin Smith (@thatkevinsmith) was asked to step off a Southwest Airlines (@SouthwestAir) flight on Feb. 13, 2010 due to his size. With over 1.6 million followers, Smith’s Tweets about the situation quickly hit mainstream media and blew up in social media. The Southwest Twitter account responded very quickly and appropriately with multiple apologies. As companies continue to engage in social media, how do they prevent or respond to crisis situations such as this? Join the conversation on Twitter using the hash tag #redshoesspeak.
