It's really not. It's only for the hyper-plugged-in; the influencers. @danlarsen talks about how Twitter and Facebook act as the "canary in the coal mine." They tell us trends before someone like my mom would. If you can create campaigns that engage bloggers, thought-leaders, and early adopters, why wouldn't it be a success? We aren't trying to engage every consumer with social media, however we are trying to engage potential consumer with a voice. I really enjoy your blog, and I think you are right more than your wrong. But in this case, if I kill everyone marketing program my mom ranked 7 or less, I wouldn't be where I am in business. #justsayin I think one of the major fallacies in social media is that it’s for everyone.
