BTW: folks who knew me in *previous professional life iterations* (like #Hootsuite) can catch up on the decades before and decade since on "Just Japan #Podcast" with Kevin Kevin O’Shea – definitely surprises, laughs, and possibly pathos on offer #gratis directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/…

Maybe I'm "old-fashioned" but really wonder why brands bother having *social media* accounts when they don't engage whatsoever Isn't the point to spark conversations, solicit questions, foster community, gain advocates? But nada, even from many social-media-centric companies
