The social web creates a LOT of noise – it’s one of the things that keeps people from participating in it. On the contrary, finding the signals within the noise is not easy, not obvious, and when it comes to businesses developing social media campaigns, I do support the likes of, “Don’t try this yourself.

I started this writing as a comment on PBN, but I have a rule that when my comments exceed two paragraphs, I move the conversation over to my blog for clarity and for support. Schaefer’s article and PBN does not allow links in their comments – both of which limit the conversation and tend to make me a little grumpy.)
