DJ, could you unpack how Marc is creating “listening” lists in Facebook from their ads? You mentioned he’s using “subscribe lists.”
To paraphrase what Marc said, I thought it was very true when he characterized how people assume that everyone knows what we’ve put out into the interweb:
[THEN] You didn’t get my email? No, you should have called me.
[NOW] You didn’t see my Facebook post/tweet? No, you should have emailed me.
I use lists to group people and follow the aggregated conversations of the list. As new individuals are added I place them in preassigned lists or create a specific list for them. At any time I can just click on the list as have a quick glance at the aggregated conversation. I have found it to be an excellent listening tool.
