&lt;p&gt;I see all &amp;#39;indirect&amp;#39; companies like MSFT/ CSCO/ SYM/ HP (and millions of others) taking what I call a &amp;#39;direct social media strategy&amp;#39;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why do they not deliver their vendor content via their partners&amp;#39; social media networks?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" title="Blog" href="http://channelfocus.baptie.com/blogs/purechannelapps/archive/2011/07/06/how-to-reach-and-influence-end-users-by-socially-enabling-your-channel-partners.aspx"&gt;See the blog I just posted.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me know your thoughts. Are vendors completely missing the boat? Wouldn&amp;#39;t it be more productive to leverage partners and make them the &amp;#39;social trusted advisors&amp;#39;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Feedback would be greatly welcomed ...and for a solution, check socialondemand out at &lt;a target="_blank" title="purechannelapps" href="http://purechannelapps.com/"&gt;www.purechannelapps.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
