I also find that my greatest benefits are the cross links I have developed between several media types and among several networks. I would be interested in hearing more about your thoughts here. The most important criteria is that a dialogue or discussion take place-those who try to use the Social Space to market directly without interest in response are sadly disappointed. Dan Ross,

Too often, I see stand-alone activity in one channel or another, which seems more of a token effort, a one-off response to statistics like these that should X or Y site is the latest hot thing. Real benefits will only accrue to those brands which take a long-term considered view of the social space, and put the effort into those areas where they are going to be able to add most value.
