I agree, I am not a huge fan of advertisements on social networking sites. I am, however, totally in favor of advertisers actually getting involved in conversations on social networking sites. I think it is much more effective that way. It's much less intrusive and they are actually building relationships with their customers. We are starting a buzz marketing company that gets involved in relevant online conversations for companies that don't have the time or knowledge to do it themselves. We area really excited about it and will be releasing a consumer version of our software that allows companies to self serve. Cari Buzz.io

Ads on social networks = bad idea in my opinion. People go on to socialize and while some ads convert, most just don’t and it’s more effort than it’s worth.
