		<description>I do think that social media marketing can be useful if used within a community that shares quite same interests.

For example, if I offer web design services and I start a campaign in a SEO social media community, I will have chance to make a deal. If I do the same in a cookery community I won't have the same luck.
I find that's a good possibility to find new customers and deals if used in the right moment at the right place.</description>

		<description>Nice Article Wayne, big old smooch to you for the nice write-up!

I sometimes feel it’s like drinking a waterfall trying to learn everything about social media, but fortunately I’m not shy and I hope to contribute to the global learning process about it!</description>

		<description>Interesting article about Social Media /Social Networking. But is the answers already given? I don't think so. Where are the facts about possible goals? I like the topic very much.</description>

		<description>Hi and thanks for the comment!

Yeah, social media &#038; networking can get out of hand, especially if you're new.

Plus, it's a daunting prospect, with so many ways to spread yourself too thinly if you don't work to a plan!

I hope everything works out for you. And if you have any questions, you know where to find me...</description>

		<description>Hi Kristen and thanks for the comment!

Yes, it's a learning curve.

Those that try to cut corners will either fail (constituting the vast majority of such cases), or find a "gap" to exploit, be that a legitimate or "Black Hat" method, as you allude to.

In the end, we all learn collectively...</description>

		<description>I totally agree Wayne. It is the personal investment of time and developing that "relationship" that creates a great social media campaign for a company not necessarily anonymous votes and fake subscriptions. This just shows the ignorance in an evolving market.</description>
