    this is interesting, but ignores the way different brands and industries work well, and not so well online.

    You raise some good points and ask all the right questions. That being said, the quotes you have on page 8 are powerful on the surface but useless in this context. The reason big companies jumping into SecondLife, Facebook, YouTube, etc... saw no results is because they had no social media strategy. That is, they chose tactics before figuring out if their target audience makes purchasing decisions on those channels. I’m glad you included slide 73 , although this point of 'other benefits' deserves more elaboration since it is VERY important for long-tail, future success of a brand (i.e. relationship building).
