Hi Deborah. Can we have both? I like to think that there can be 100 — and this may be a moving feast dependent on the topic, the news environment — for whom we have more direct interaction and take the connection from SM to email, phone and beyond, and 4,900 who are listening in, monitoring, learning a lot about us, forming opinions and may never take it further in the SM environment, but may end up connecting elsewhere. Perhaps the interaction is lacking but the communication can still be authentic.

The conversation on authentic interaction is interesting. This has been on my mind recently. Really how many people can we have authentic relationships with on social networks? For businesses using networks to market, should we be concerned with that or is it still effective to have 5,000 followers that we talk to but not interact with personally as much? Does it still help sales, that’s what my clients want to know.
