• Information gets shared and commented on within seconds
• Internal leaders must decide when (and when not) to reply, what messages should be linked to their blogs, when to copy material and mash it up with their own, and what to share with their various communities
• The creation of meaning becomes a collaborative process in which leaders have to play a thoughtful part, as this is the very place where acceptance of or resistance to messages will be built

Considerations
• What to pay attention to – Pinpointing conversation trends, internally and externally: are there
recurring or key topics being talked about?
• Who to pay attention to – Determining influence levels of those talking: who’s listening to them?
• What to do about it – Engage? How and when?
– With what measurable goal?
