Mari's findings are similar to those I gathered for a report released May 17 through HispanicAd.com and JakeAdams.net I have just finalized. I invite all to read the 2010 U.S. Hispanic Social Media & Marketing Overview upon its release to learn how to engage with an ever-growing, digitally connected and upwardly mobile consumer base.

Yes, planning a strategy is an important first step, but most seem to want to put their toe in the water first to see what works. What's probably most common is the situation where the client already has a social media presence but decides to seek help with making the most of it and developing a strategy going forward. We often don't get the luxury of starting from the beginning, but the challenge of correcting course and steering the ship in the right direction can also be a lot of fun. Randy Hi Sabine:

Learned the hard way about the admin 'feature' on Facebook. New client reached out to me to help with FB marketing which she had left in the hands of an employee since she (owner) didn't want to set up a FB personal profile. Although I added myself as an admin, that original admin can never be changed, even after she is no longer an employee! Could be dangerous! In my work with clients, I always start with creating a strategy before creating a Facebook Fan page or delving into any other media outpost. Sometimes hard to get them to go through the strategy and planning phases, but SO important! Thanks again for taking the time to recap some great sessions! Cheers, Sabine Thanks for the overview Randy!

Thank you so much. Whew, yes, I packed a ton of content in and I'm the only presenter leading two sessions... basically, because Facebook is such a *massive* topic, as you know!! Yes, clarification on your point #4 of my session -- it's only the *originating* Admin that can never be removed. That person (who is linked to their personal profile... or possibly a business account) is locked in as the main Admin forever. And, they can add as many additional Admins as they wish... and these Admins can just as easily be removed. Cheers! @marismith Hi Randy – awesome recap!! Thank you so much.

It can be pretty hard to keep up in the sessions, especially with live Tweets going on, etc. I think Mari's presentation went especially fast and covered a lot of information. Session attendees also have the benefit of online access after the presentation (for a full year) so that's one way to catch up and refresh our memories. Maeve:

I think it's just another area where Facebook needs to get its act together - and hopefully, sooner rather than later. Maybe the recent uproar about Facebook privacy issues will result in getting something accomplished in this area too. Hi Janet:

As a virtual assistant, I create and/or administer pages for a number of my clients, and I don't think they would want me to have that access if we stop working together at some time in the future. Not that I would ever do anything to cause a problem, but I can see a scenario where two people have a falling out and one decides to get nasty...

Filled in some gaps that I missed in my notes. I wasn't able to attend the last session either. Let me know if you find a good summary of it anywhere. Thanks for the wrap up, Randy.
