This is true, I am an affiliate, but I'm also a genuine user of the service. And was before I became an affiliate. Being web savvy and in the industry for years, I know how to make money from the web, and therefore if i'm going to review a commercial service which I like and believe in, why not earn some money?

Re: Lobbying company tried to wipe out 'wife beater' beer references

Why is this even news worthy? Why the hell is a labour MP paid by the tax payer wasting their time looking into this?

A company is going to protect their image and they played within the rules to remove the reference.

It's a shame that a fair few of the real 'experts' will be hidden by the techno-phobes whose kids taught them that Twitter was cool. I think so many people are wowed by some of the simple techniques of social media in building their networks, businesses and personal lives they're very quick to judge themselves as knowing everything.

This is true, but it's amazing how many companies I speak to who think that fake reviews on their products constitute good social media practise

Are Facebook ads with polls attached to them that great for social media metrics? I mean it's like going back to radio and saying to a few hundred people did you listen to Capital or Radio 1!
I know I haven't seen the product yet, but 'social media' isn't just about creating a Facebook ads - Google could come along and just start distributing ads there straight away and most marketing directors wouldn't be that bothered, that's just pay per click / cpm in a different environment.

Social media is about conversation, who actually conversed with their friends about that product, or even better - conversed with the brand. And I don't just mean posted on their wall, I mean a user who actually got some benefit back from the interaction. This isn't the answer to social media scepticism!
