in Social Commerce: Do you want to do business with your friends? on thevirtualhandshake
I think the concept of selling to your local social network stems to the origins of commerce itself. WHo else was there to sell to but your immediate friends and neighbors in your village...miles and miles away from the next living soul.

I believe the sour attitude came when rather ambitious individuals tried to live, breath and become one with their product. They could not make the distincetion between friend and prospect. It got to the point you could not talk about your kids without being offered special products or attempting to enlist you in their "deal".

Like many things yesterday and today, moderation and common sense are valuable tools for any endeavor. If we keep them close to our side, social networking can be good for all.
