Social media is merely a tool that can help with items. It is not a magic pill. It cannot make a person or business appear to be something they are not. In fact, social media is really good at giving others a transparent view. One last point. If I am ever part of a failed business, I would not want to be haunted by the thought of anything that I could have done but didn't. "What if I had just used social media tools more..."

I probably would have never went to the vibe the 2-3 times I did without seeing Chris et all talking about it publicly. Hearing all those Portland folks talk about @whuffies makes me want to try them something baaaaaaad! I’ll tell you this.

I personally did everything I could to promote the Vibe via twitter and other means.I liked Beth. They had a bit of a following of loyalists. I held countless business meetings there,gave people hand written gift certificates from there, even helped organize a Young Pros event there. The concept (food, comfy chairs, art, and good coffee) was good, the execution was exceedingly poor. That is why they failed. They had a host of things going for them, but they lacked the commitment and/or the "secret sauce" to take full advantage of their "great idea". Wendy, I have to agree with Flurry.
