I completely agree. Everything starts with content. You need more than great content, but it has to start there. I like the value being queen analogy and I also agree with your thoughts on brand. When you add value to people's lives they remember and they build strong positive associations with you, which strengthens your brand. Thanks for sharing and for the compliments. Thanks Matthew.

In my opinion, it has everything to do with content. You have to provide something of value to your audience for them to interact. Who really cares if "you should really go to bed but you have to stay up and watch lost"... Content is king and Value is Queen. Without one or the other, it can be very difficult to build and maintain your social media efforts. In today's market, the best way to build your brand and/or communicating your intentions is to provide help/support/tips through the various social networks. That is true value, helps develop loyalty and if done properly can significantly increase your brand quality (whether personal, professional or corporate) Kind of a tangent, but just thought I would share my experiences. Great post and video. Matt Great article and comments. In my opinion, it has everything to do with content. You have to provide something of value to your audience for them to interact.

You can't just blame the network. We're part of those networks and have to shoulder a little of the blame.

If people actually communicate with each other, then it definitely has some merit. But people don't, and that's what will kill this idea and may well wreck social networking sites in the process.

Some are certainly going to provide more benefit than others. I'm on a lot of those same networks and I've joined many communities and done little more. But I think we all have the ability to find better and more active networks. Some of it has to come to us and how we approach networking. I agree completely it's meaningless if used as a marketing gimmick, but if you form honest relationships with people I think there's a lot of benefit in networking. Steve do you like the site because you find it valuable or because it's your site? Adam it’s true that not all networks are the same. Some are certainly going to provide more benefit than others.

I don't have a Facebook account anymore for that reason. Correction: I should say “seemed” to communicate. I don’t have a Facebook account anymore for that reason.

It's one of those things that I don't think will ever really be useful as a marketing gimmick, particularly when SEO-types try to exploit them.
