But as with anything in technology you need to just start doing it and learn along the way, watch others and try things. The best part about it is that it costs literaly nothing to get started with either blogging and twitter.

I would suggest that you get some teenage help - but give them a clear and strict brief to follow. I appreciate your feedback. Cheers, Andrew Hey Alberto - I think that is a good point.

And so true. Can really relate to the challenges of learning the ropes of the social media scene... and one thing's for sure... the technologically challenged should not attempt Facebook Red Bubble and Twitter all in the same week! Great idea to outsource to the kids... except that when they grow up and leave home (as they are serially inclined to do! grin)... you then have to learn for yourself or perish! Better maybe to bite the bullet sooner rather than later. You know what they say... If you can't beat 'em you may as well join 'em! They'll love you for it until you turn up in their tweets.

You can't trust the communication channel to your nephew unless you're the downtown groceries store. Just my .2¢ Regards, Alberto IMHO I think that while this can pass as a low-cost solution, any brand really needs more than this “I’m social actively” solution.

We give our work experience students a list of things they need to achieve while they're with us, and they always handle the social media adeptly, and they really love it too. One small thing though, we notice they need a thorough spell check and proofread on the blog posts. Andrew you’re spot on this with this strategy!
