Great article. I think bloggers that use Twitter or other more personal status services add a bit more credibility to their corporate blogging. It shows the content is uncensored and dictated by a department head.

This is one of the reasons Twitter is doing so well, it brings in a personal element to an otherwise structured corporate blogosphere.

Mia, right on. I think that’s the slippage in these studies–what gets lost is how people are interacting with real friends versus the “friends” like MySpace’s Tom.

Who, I must admit, I unfriended when I first signed up ages ago. It creeped me out that he wants to be everyone’s friend!

Good post! I wanted to point out one thing and that’s ‘Conversations with friends & peers’ ranks very high, while the social networks rank low. But what about the conversations that happen through the social networks? In theory, social networks and blogs faciliate conversations with family and peers, hence they should be more influential than what this research indicates.

Ouch Marty. But, yeah, I admit I got pretty rambly there. And a lot of those thoughts aren’t new–I was just trying to reconcile the 2 reports on a couple points.

Shannon, thanks. I agree that well-established blogs earn my trust more easily–and definitely I have problems with MSM. But I think social network fragmentation is something that’s going to be resolved soonish. Projects like OpenSocial are aimed at it squarely.

Paula–great videos! Brought to mind how some brands are keeping an eye on the Consumerist. I wonder how often consumers feel creeped out by this kind of outreach…
