    It’s the connection and the conversation…
•
« Markets are conversations »

    « Markets are getting smarter, more informed, more organized. »

     « People in networked markets have figured out that they get far better

    information and support from one another than from vendors. »
     « The networked market knows more than companies do about their

    own products. »
     « Companies that assume online markets are the same markets used to

    watch their ads on TV are kidding themselves. »
     « Companies that don’t realize their markets are now networked

    person-to-person, getting smarter as a results and deeply joined in
    conversation are missing their best opportunity. »
     « Companies can now communicate with their markets directly. If they

    blow it, it could be their last chance. »
     « Companies that do not belong to a community of discourse will die. »



                     (http://www.cluetrain.com/#manifesto)
The conversations are

    going to happen!
    For better control of

    your brand, your
    image, your
    reputation, etc. you

    Once you trigger a

    conversation, you should
    not leave it

    users
    Another Justification for
