If your organization hasn’t adopted social CRM, don’t feel so bad. Most folks are in the same boat as you.

This is the current state of social CRM adoption – at least according to Awareness Inc., which recently covered the topic in its State of Social Marketing report. The survey found that 16% of respondents were using a “social CRM system”, while 17% didn’t know what social CRM was. 21% percent said they weren’t using social CRM, but planned to.

Google accidentally released its Q3 earnings a few hours early, and the results were shocking to most; the tech giant reported a 20 percent drop in profits, resulting stock prices falling 9 percent in the minutes following the release. The Washington Post is reporting that the earnings releases were posted to the Securities and Exchange Commission Web site a few hours earlier than anticipated. Google ceased trading on NASDAQ following the release while it finalized the document, which was initially posted with a note stating it was “Pending Larry quote.” Google reported revenue of U.S.$11.3 billion in Q3, which was up 19 percent year-on-year, but net income fell to U.S.$2.18 billion. Part of the company’s decline is blamed on foreign currency exchange rates, while another part is blamed on Google’s Motorola unit, which reported an adjusted operating loss of U.S.$151 million.
