The great thing about the web is that everyone can have their say. And the worst thing about the web is that everyone can have their say! Which also means that one person can do damage to someone’s reputation whether or not it is deserved. So I agree that monitoring our online reputation is as important as any off line monitoring that we have become accustomed to doing, such as with our financial records. I guess the challenge is learning to become accustomed to doing the monitoring, and then knowing what to do with the information we find as well as being very careful to conduct business in a way that does not allow negative credibility issues to stick.

Creating brands worth evangelizing about is often misunderstood. The connection between the core values - the soul of the company and the soul of the customer - is why customers evangelize. They have found a temple of core value at which to worship. It’s mythic. It’s epic. The brand becomes icon because it connects to the subconscious yearnings of the customer, imprinting on the brain. The pictured emotional experience becomes a conduit through which the customer can again be touched by those core values.

Those pictures and emotions then become language in the brain of the customer. And it’s the language of evangelism.
