Interesting how what is true for computer networks holds true for social networks. In the age of Facebook, Plaxo and LinkedIn, it is all to easy to start thinking of the network as numbers.

Social network connectivity is becoming the post-modern email newsletter. This puts significant pressure on email to be more relevant, because most of what would be contained in an email newsletter or special offer now happens faster and more personally within Facebook, Twitter or other social outposts.

This is especially misplaced with group written blogs, where the broad content focus and inconsistent tonality makes RSS subscription less likely. Very helpful post, Jay.

Too many companies are “experimenting&# with social media because they feel they have to, not because they want to do so. Unlike every other form of marketing and communication ever devised, you can’t treat social media like taking medicine – something that you do when you have to, and only because someone told you so.
