USA Today http://budurl.com/l6wb is breathless to shout the numbers but the social media realm isn't about quantity — it's about quality. From a user/consumer side to the MARKETER side too. Yet all we do is throw money at banners on Facebook — and ignore research that continually suggests what a waste it all is.

Why? Faux research like comScore's from what I gather: “Twitter users spend 66% more dollars on the Internet than non-Twitter users!” and similar drivel.

Marketers seem committed to using social quantitatively — mass communications. Banners. Talking “at.” Not prompting for CONTINUED, systematic engagement that leads down the sales funnel.

Just my thoughts but what am I missing here or just not getting?
