In all seriousness, since this article was first written and posted, I believe most executives are beginning to believe it might be true. Maybe some day, someone will come up with a legitimate way to suck money out of their Facebook followers . . . but I haven't seen it yet. As marketers, we need to start re-positioning the way we pitch social networking to our bosses: "It can lower our costs, grow our contact lists, and help us distribute information. Oh, and we might make a few sales once in awhile, too." Thanks for commenting! Glad I could be of help!

Social networks are no different.
