A point here is that this is about SOCIAL as SNSs etc are used as part of individuals social lives. This suggests that a commercial move may be seen as an intrusion and rejected by users.

Two points you made that had the greatedst impact on me:

–For every Social Media expert, we must remember, that there are many more human beings out there who are not using social tools to communicate, but are still equally important to our bottom line. Therefore, our job is to connect our story and our value propositions to people wherever they go to discover and share information – even if it’s in the real world.

–Social Media is a revelation that we the people have a voice and through the democratization of content and ideas, we can once again unite people around common passions, inspire movement, and ignite change.

Also, I saw your “Social Media Releases for PR” presentation earlier this week. We had a room full of people listening to the call ranging from web developers to public affairs and PR people to advertising account folks–demonstrating exactly what you said about several disciplines having a part in social media.

Thanks again.
