If it is worth it to you to tick off a bunch of your online friends to publicly proclaim that you just earned a GymRat badge on Foursquare and you’re comfortable with the privacy issues of announcing where you are at every given moment, then more power to you. No badge, no mayorship, no virtual prize, no free sandwich is worth it.

Track things like audience/community sentiment (positive/negative) if you want to map effort to results. Build RSS outposts on Facebook. Add Flog Blog, and several other RSS tools. Use social networks respectfully to share the best of your content, in a community-appropriate setting. Your community knows more than you.

I believe we’re going to shift back to thinking customer service and community management are the core and not the fringe. I believe we’re going to move our communications practices back in-house for lots of what is currently pushed out to agencies and organizations. Disagree with me in the comments. Dr. Wright.
