Bumping this up.

This is right on! It's for this reason that so many publishers have offloaded commenting to third parties and social networks - its just too much real work. It's quite a shame, gardens can be so much fun.

FB doesn't "scan" your profile. Instead, when you auth into a site using FB, the service can access any of the data from your profile that you've made available via the privacy settings. Really, it's not *that* scary!

You hire a smart creative agency to figure it out for you. The value of SS for FB/Tumblr/Twitter is that it blends FAR MORE seamlessly into the stream. IE, people are already sharing content they've produced and are far more inclined to have a positive, emotional reaction to a brand's "story" in that context. Also, not for nothing, this is the way television advertising has worked for well over 50 years.

Does one really "work their way up from ad sales to writer"? Is that a thing?

But using vague and cliched language to cover this story significantly undermines the value of the movement. How does this have ANYTHING to do with fashion or the best2k? Do you also applaud Erin Burnett's condescending attitude to the whole thing?

I think thats its worth acknowledging that neither Foursquare or Tumblr has yet to find a way to successfully integrate brands into the experience. Sure, they exist on their platforms, but they interact the way that users interact... they're effectively brands as people and not brands as brands. Neither company (however successful) has monetized these brand interactions in a meaningful way because they've been trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Until they do, they're companies but not businesses.
