The shift from the traditional call center to a full social media strategy in customer care is… something of an on-going experiment. Certainly a social media presence is essential for any company these days. However, many would argue that social meda channels like Twitter and Facebook are still on the back-end of the human aspect of customer care. While the growth of social media has been astronomical, the technology does not yet offer the real time tet-a-tet that call centers are structured upon. Only time will tell if social media has the capability to bridge the gap between these diverging customer care mediums.
