Definitely agree with you re: too much control. People are going to say what they think. I feel like they're sometimes less likely to say insanely bad things when they know someone is listening..and they've developed a relationship with that person. And no relationships can develop if the fan/customer feels like they're talking to mom, instead of a friend. Sean - I agree with you 100% - Thanks for your comment. Jackie – Thanks for stopping by.

It's the teams that start engaging in social media that can really start gaining the advantages of a passionate tribe.

Trying to exert too much control is one that always frustrates me. Especially in sports, the PR teams and management are hesitant to give up control because fans are, by nature, very critical of the team and players when something goes wrong, which makes them extremely hesitant to ever want to relinquish any control. However, you can't be the person who acts like the mom and tries to exert your control over your followers/fans, because that will probably just make them do whatever they're doing even more. So, there's definitely a happy medium to be found in there between this and letting fans and customers run free and bad mouth your brand. After all, you can't control the conversation, but you sure can try and influence the direction it's going in. Great thoughts, Jason! Unfortunately, I’ve seen all of these happen far too often.
