I actually used to work for Harrah's Entertainment in the IM department (they own Bally's/Caesars/Paris/etc). It's funny that Harrah's still spends so much money on PPC yet doesn't focus on any organic terms and have been late to the social media game - Caesars does an OK job on twitter, but I think it's because they took their IM in-house. Each of the corporate employees has their own personal twitter account, but they haven't done a great job of selling social media as a marketing tool to the properties they are supposed to be marketing. /rant Anyways, good job to MGM for being on top of things.

We just discovered you and got the Blueprint - WE LOVE IT! We learned so much from it and were relieved to see that we have put so much of your plan into action already (we are launching our site in the next couple-ish of days). So, with that said, we noticed your picture of a tweet in this post - we love it and want one just like it! How did you do it? We are newbies so please type slowly - seriously, we realize we are probably your only readers who see this as magical. Tweet or die back to you - Tish and Kerry Hey David,

It surprises me actually that some of the bigger companies here locally don't jump into Twitter thinking its retarded.. Twitter has been changing the game and not going with the flow is a big mistake True.

I'm with ya Dave, and the only response I have is that someone is going to make a lot of money teaching these companies how to do it right.

Utilizing social media as a listening post is such a great idea. I do not understand why big companies do not get this. It is almost a willful ignorance on their part to ignore what is being said about them via social media when it is so simple for them to monitor it.

They and others have mastered the customer avoidance tactic. It is great to see that Twitter is a valuable counter measure. I am surprise AT&T is on Twitter and responding to customer needs.
