I really like this summary. As someone who worked through first the dotcom boom and then the bust, my resistance to Facebook has a lot to do with a healthy skepticism relating both to vapour ware and just overall shortened product lifecycles – it wasn’t much more than a decade ago that AOL and Yahoo! chat were all the rage (was it?). Finally the enterprise applications of messenger services are coming into their – that took a while, didn’t it?

But I think too one has to differentiate between one’s personal strategy and one’s business strategy, and not enough people are doing that when they leap into social networking, which you address in points four to seven. We only have so much time and so much energy. And that party going on in our computers 24/7? Well – there’s also a little cord attached to those machines that plugs into the wall. Pity we can’t recharge ourselves quite so easily.

Hello,

I’ve truly enjoyed your feed since adding it to facebook. I’ve recommend it to many of my associates.

This particular rant, considering I’m a huge fan of rants, leaves me hoping that none of my fellow marketers have read it.

What is normally a source of concise and interesting news on marketing in this evolving age became somethine entirely devolved.

Keep on the rant dude!, but don’t hit post until the next day and some proofreading
