Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

More individuals blog today than ever before. As Social Computing has matured, brands recognize the importance of connecting with this small but influential group of content creators. Adults and youth blog for different reasons, which marketers must recognize when seeking social media mentions and link love. To engage bloggers effectively, marketers must listen first, participate in an ongoing dialogue, create a larger conversation, and measure to fine-tune their outreach programs.
