We're only using Facebook right now - I believe it has great potential. Working on strategies to market it effectively.

We get a little crazy with it over at MileOne. Not saying we take full advantage of each and every medium, but one thing is for sure...we refuse to sit on the sideline. We hike up our pants and jump in.

Blog (dealer group)
My MileOne - Automotive Community: News, Events, Downloads, Games, Videos, and Discussions

YouTube for each of our dealers (few examples)

YouTube - MileOneAutomotive's Channel
YouTube - HondaParkville's Channel
YouTube - MercedesAnnapolis's Channel
YouTube - TischerBMW's Channel

Facebook for MileOne

MileOne Automotive | Facebook

Flickr
MileOne's photosets on Flickr

MySpace
MileOne (MileOne Automotive) | MySpace.com

Follow MileOne on Twitter
MileOne Automotive (mileone) on Twitter

You never know when you're going to find the sweet spot.

Just started our Facebook page for Hyundai of St. Augustine.

Working on our Twitter, Blog, and Youtube strategy but we don't want to start something that isn't relevant to our customers...it is my opinion that having no social media strategy at all is better than having a bad one in place.

SM efforts, as Jeff puts it, definitely require you to jump in & experiment. Its not the cure for all ills - but it does deserve a nod.

It started with our blog & continued from there...

Video & photo sites include the likes of YouTube, 12Seconds.tv & Flickr.

SN sites include Facebook Fan Pages, Group Pages & Blog Pages.

I use LinkedIn for extra employee exposure among the professional networking segment as well. (passed on MySpace - not worth the effort IMO)

Microblogging sites include Twitter & Tumblr among others.

Additional tools like our Social Media Newsroom & Google Profiles help the cause...
