Companies may not have the budget allocated, the interest, the time, the skills, etc, but they could get all those by reallocating funds and hiring an agency. In any case, you have to look at trends in your industry, competitors, and decide what to do based on going forward, not looking back.

Just having a facebook account, twitter account and profile on likedin does not cut it, it would be like sending out Larry Curly and Moe and expecting the Three Tenors to sing, giggle. I feel a humourous series of skits coming along, who wants to join me? This is exactly why I tell folks we need to see if you are ready for social media first.
