It's about listening and participating in human interactions that are sustainable and will generate positive word of mouth. If you're sharing content that others will "care to share" with their networks, you can be successful.

Just approached while at the markets on a Saturday and asked if we could talk to them. Then straight into the questions.As for how BackType works, I agree, I rather have them in Trackbacks or (as Chris Brogan does) in a separate section. I have noted this to the BackType folks as I think the count is skewed. I'd rather see Comments, Track/Pingbacks and "online mentions" or some such. Des – no warmup for the participants.

In other words, I thought I had come upon a conversation but found an echo chamber. Knowing how rigorous you are in your thinking and how measured you are in your talk IRL, I'm wondering is running basic "ping" tweets into the comment stream such a good idea, do you think, Steve?

The term "social media" is now commonplace but it's actually unhelpful. Your interviewees don't experience social software in the same way they experience newspapers or the telly. Should we ban it?
