		<description>Great list. Thanks.  In post What is Social Strategy &lt;a href=&quot;http://bit.ly/mU6lN&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://bit.ly/mU6lN&lt;/a&gt;, I came across one more to add to your list that I think it doing some great things in the area of strategy.  You should watch Oliver Marks of ZDNet.  In addition, there are some interesting things being done in the Recruitment industry as well by Hollister (&lt;a href=&quot;http://hollisterstaff.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;hollisterstaff.com&lt;/a&gt;) and their partner 451.  I hope to see more coming soon.</description>

		<description>Hi Gaurav,

Impact Interactions has been helping enterprise level organization such as Cisco, SAP, Intel, NetApp, and many others utilize social media technologies to further specific business objectives since 2003. Our methodology is grounded in using metrics and data to drive decisions. To help our clients we offer consulting, execution (facilitation &amp; moderation), social media monitoring, web analytics and reporting, as well as project management services.

We&#039;ve helped Cisco scale its customer support channel and reduce costs through our work with Networking Professionals Community (NetPro). We&#039;ve helped NetApp, Cisco, and SAP broaden their marketing reach using multiple strategies using both communities and social media tools. We help SAP understand how using PPC campaigns can drive stronger lead quality and reduce cycle times when integrated with social media. We&#039;ve built ROI frameworks and analyses for Cisco, NetApp, SAP, and AARP which all tie back to their specific business objectives in using social media. 

Lastly, we help our clients understand what is going on in the social media world when it comes to their reputation and brands by performing social media monitoring. This gives our clients the full picture and enough data to adjust their strategies using proven tactics. 

If you&#039;d like to learn more, I encourage you to visit our web site. We may be the quiet company out there, but our clients&#039; results speak for themselves.

Regards,
Mike Rowland
President</description>

		<description>Hi Gaurav -

Thanks for the link to our list - there are indeed a lot of interesting firms emerging - both on the PR/Marketing side and on the business management side.  I think it&#039;s critical as the information revolution started 15 years ago or so is finally pushing real structural changes to the way we do business.  Just like the hyperlink dramatically changed the categorization of information, social technologies are changing how people organize themselves and their work.

It&#039;s a fun time to be working in this area but it can also be pretty disruptive and anxiety producing.</description>

What is amazing to know is that there are so many different firms :-)

Check out Watson Wyatt - the HR consulting firm which is getting into the game from a workforce communication perspective

However I think communication is just the tip of the iceberg :-)</description>
