+YouTube comments

Video is very powerful

Companies underestimate the value

Lots of videos not in channels

Some channels very outdated

YouTube not linked from corporate web sites

+Blog comments

Very few companies embracing blogs

Could be to lack of understanding, resources or content plan.

Blogging very prevalent in KE.

Shows disconnect between brands and consumers.

+Conclusions

SM uptake has increased.

Still lots of scope both for those already there and those that still need to embrace it.

Strategy seems to be seriously lacking from many platforms.

Platform specific strategies required.

Content plans lacking
