Posting a cool piece of content has nothing to do with social media ... now if you tell me that they provided tools for sharing, monitored conversations --on velocity, community, sentiment, affinity, reach, influence--, engaged with influencers, benchmarked KPIs metrics, and I can go on and on, then yes, GE would trully get social media ... I'm not saying they don't, but this is not a representative example. @Colleen, so they posted a cool video and gave people something to do … again, not discrediting the strategy, but how is that social media?

It's MUCH bigger than that. Did you look at the site? they provided viewers with something cool to do (you can make the altered reality thing yourself) and they didn't do *anything* to push their Smart Grid agenda on the site except provide a link to learn more. Further more, the site they link to - the smart grid site itself - isn't a for-profit site, it's information. There are several social media features to that as well. I'm guessing if you're thinking this is just a video on YouTube, then you've got more to learn about social media yourself. @Rob it’s not the fact that they put a video on YouTube.
