There’s definitely a lot more to be done with content above and beyond pasting onto a website, and the analogy of cross-fertilization is an apt one for social media. The question of “Does it work?” depends on your definition of success. If you carry the plant reproduction scenario further, you can define success based on the plants that come from the seeding of your ideas in others.
If you are scattering your content in the direction of the social media wind that will carry it to your desired audience, you’re more likely to see your ideas pollinate the ideas of others – folks whose ideas resonate with your own, whose networks are connected to your topic and whose investment in making sure your ideas get sunshine and water to thrive stems from their own interest in you, your company and your message.
