While it may be easy enough to set up a twitter account/facebook page/youtube channel and spew whatever comes to mind out to the world, it's a whole other thing to actually reach out and make it a truly interactive, even social experience. This is something that some (including you, Buzz) do rather well, but most getting into the space sadly don't as yet. As social media continues to evolve, as broadcasting continues to do, we'll eventually reach a point where both work in a complimentary manner, as opposed to one being used to hock the other on the public in yet another manner (when was the last time you responded to a bus bench ad anyway?).
