I feel like the other guy in the story- will you try social media if I give you some great case studies? It's mostly based on buzz and mass popularity. What separates 'social' now from what has come before is that it got buzz, got cool, got popular. Will you embrace Twitter if I can show you ROI?

No stack of case studies or conference road trips will do it, either. If you don’t have the obvious social chatter about your brand, you have to make the case that content creation will drive search, which drives traffic, which drives sales. But the job of arm twisting and education can’t come from outside.

I think Myspace is a great case study but I don’t think FB has learned from the mistakes. If people tricked out their Myspace pages (your less is more point) with photos, blogs, videos, nusic etc and then left at the drop of a hat, why would they stay with FB who everyone doesn’t trust and only hosts our photos?

I think that credibility plays a big role here; testimonials, case studies, ratings and rankings should be in the content mix. I can get people to discover, interact with and share my content all day, but all that proves is that I can push words, provide context and – maybe – that I have some authority.
