I think @AZhelps might be an example of a pharma exploring monitoring in a more thoughtful way. But .. while there may debate about monitoring the social media, companies absolutely need to mine the social media as a source of genuine insights from patients and care partners. It's a chance to hear honest stories from consumers about their frustrations, fears, and misunderstandings about medications - and these are opinions to which I believe manufacturers need to respond.

People are doing social media, they're doing monitoring, and they know there's got to be some use to putting the two together to improve <em>something</em>, but they don't necessary know what or how yet, or what the metrics of "improved" would even be. Of course, since the answers to those questions are going to be highly contextual, people are going to have to make sure they really know (or learn) their space, company, and goals before they can head down that path. I foresee many more questions... :) I do enjoy seeing real-world applications of our stuff – thanks for including PostRank in the post. :)

I'm with you on that one. Influence is definitely an important factor as well and would be interesting to plot out the two axises. Maybe a topic for an future post. It would be interesting to determine if a tweet from very influential person should carry more weight than a letter from a less influential person. Could be interesting.
