Regarding the "right and wrong", I think we're seeing some of the same FUD factor that we say back in the '90s when the web was new and weird. Remember when web access was only available to a select few out of risk concerns? We've seen this movie before and we know how it ends! Thanks for the comment and smart thinking Christine.

I feel that the process begins with #'s 4 and 5, which encourage the development of #'s 3 and 2. In my opinion, Chris Brogan has the best perspective on social media utility: " Social Media Tools Aren’t The Revolution A phone can be used to talk to Mom, talk to the grocery store, talk to customer service at your bank, and a phone can be used to give a teleseminar, to dial for dollars, to market a new product or service. This is the same with all these tools like blogging, podcasting, social networks and the like. The tools themselves are just different (better?) ways to communicate.

Very topical indeed. I feel that the process begins with #’s 4 and 5, which encourage the development of #’s 3 and 2. In my opinion, Chris Brogan has the best perspective on social media utility:

” Social Media Tools Aren’t The Revolution

A phone can be used to talk to Mom, talk to the grocery store, talk to customer service at your bank, and a phone can be used to give a teleseminar, to dial for dollars, to market a new product or service. This is the same with all these tools like blogging, podcasting, social networks and the like. The tools themselves are just different (better?) ways to communicate. ”

I spoke with one business owner that could validate on a rainy, cool, Friday night the coverage of Foursquare Day definitely increased his foot traffic. It appears B2C will benefit more than B2B, but with social technology doesn't that seem to be the case? One final note: I wish Marketers would stop trying to control and make the rules. Social means social, not constrained or restrictive. Writing about the "right and wrong" isn't doing anyone much good.
