Do I talk enough about the importance of an effective social networking strategy for your business? Maybe not.

The Onion has posted a video that takes the social networking thing to new levels, while poking fun at Apple, Apple fanboys, and social networking itself. The video has gone viral, which should be all the proof you need of how important understanding social networking and using social media is:


New Apple Friend Bar Gives Customers Someone To Talk At About Mac Products

Forget Facebook; you never get to actually meet your peeps, and when you talk at them you can’t control their inclination to walk away.

Here’s what’s funniest about this: The Onion’s video is pure parody and is doing satire about social media in general and both Facebook and Apple in particular. BUT IT WORKS. The video tells a story, gets peoples’ attention, and looks . . . real.

How are you getting peoples’ attention? Does your social media and social networking strategy get the desired results? Are you doing SEO? The Onion does a great job at all that, and you can bet that this video has exposed the generally-fake news source to thousands, if not millions of new users.

The Answer Guy can help you with your SEO efforts. We’ll advise you on Social Networking, too, and get your plan set up and moving.

The rest is up to you. Better get over to an Apple Store early, before all the slots at the Friend Bar are filled up . . .
