Nice work Lee. Earlier this morning I read a posting on Steve Rubel's lifestream http://www.steverubel.com/the-next-great-media-... that takes a view on media that is similar to your view on advertising: connect with people over social networks. Ev

Great interview. Marc's comments about defensive compared to offensive strategies are spot on. History repeats itself once more.

Re: Facebook Gambles with Social Advertising — Will It Pay Off?

News and information has gone 'social', why not advertising? As long as people get some value out of viral or social advertising, it should pay off.

I use Twitter for two purposes: as another source of information, tapping into the rich and deep knowledge base of the 'masters of the web'; and toe experience living life online. it has its frustrations, but the weak relationships work for me just as much if not more than Twitter relationships with people I have met face-to-face.

Great post Stan. I agree with that - in a networked society/economy - it is important to be influential in as many networks as possible. The easier it is for people to participate, network effects ramp-up.

I'm new to Twitter (@conem) but so far I'm really impressed with the scope and reach of who I can connect with. Twitter crosses organisational, geographic and cultural barriers.

To me, Twitter is about creating and sharing knowledge and news about events -it's more than a one-to-many short message broadcast. I decide on the level of my engagement. It's very easy to use.

I can tolerate some technical problems, given the benefits.

Hey, great posting Chris. Love the comments too. Great stuff.

I've looked at this from an attention and participation point of view. Media shapes and influences. Social media shapes and influences, but it includes us. Mainstream media directional. Social media is interactive.
