Yeah, what Cate said too. You rocked it out… I hope that you’re already writing the “How to handle a Crisis in Social Media” eBook/eCourse. You have the experience to make $$$’s off it!

Geez Cate, that is an awfully kind thing to say – I`m not sure it`s quite accurate, there are some extremely able folk out there.

While I / we were careful to make sure SM was a tool for achieving business goals and had a clear idea of what I / we were trying to achieve at any point of time, there needs to be some room made for spontaneity / fun / making it up as you go along. And Telecom was wise / naive enough to give me / we that. Which was nice.

Thanks

And we miss you RI. I do however think you’re doing great for the blackcaps.

Richard, I think you are New Zealand’s best community manager. You understand the balance between building a community and fulfilling company objectives. You know how to manage social crisis comms like no other. You’ve seen every troll tactic going, and still remain human and delightful.

Telecom’s great loss is the Blackcaps’ great gain.

You don’t need our wishes of good luck – you’re going to be amazing in the new role, we all already know it.

Love it. Cleansing is good! Doesn’t make you sound like a dick – it’s “your Twitter”… just like you choose watch shows to watch on TV, Books to read or Sportsgames to go to.

Yes! This is one of the reasons I created a new twitter account and follow very few. It was just like white noise in an endless stream of tweets.
