Did I miss some case studies that proved a real time response move the needle?

Yet again, we&#39ll have to agree to disagree on your conception of "hard
facts" and "lacking."

I read the entire article, and nothing there indicated to me that real time makes a marked difference over a response delayed by an hour.

There are theories and opinions, but hard facts are lacking.

look at the example above with Weezer or think how marketers can (and
do) engage people with real time info when they express interest or
concern over a particular keyword.

Please provide data to support that assertion.

I don&#39t see how a response that was an hour faster would have garnered a better response for Comcast in this situation.

nope, not bad for a start. however, the shorter the latency the
greater the value.

I think real time sounds great in theory, but I&#39ll give you an example of a big impact via Twitter where real time was immaterial.

I posted a message about Comcast on Twitter, and got a response 74 minutes later.

That turnaround could easily have been achieved by monitoring RSS feeds.

Anyhow, it was considered so significant that a company got back to me that fast that it made national news.

Examples from Philadelphia and Los Angeles...

Not bad for a latency of more than an hour.
