Social network connectivity is becoming the post-modern email newsletter. I certainly do not support the Draconian position that somehow social networks threaten email’s existence as a marketing channel. But, it's not all conversational. That's what I mean when I say uni-directional social media.

After all, why would they even be coming to your Web site unless they had questions about your product or service? Social media makes it possible. The key is to create meaningful content that answers those questions, and propagate that content throughout the social Web, making a visit to your site unnecessary.

Compare that ratio to Facebook, where 88% have heard of it, and 41% have a profile (a conversion rate approaching 50%). And while substantially smaller than the Facebook brigade, the Twitter crew is tuned in to brands like nowhere else on the social Web. Thus, fewer than one in 13 Americans who know about Twitter, actually use Twitter.
