So True...The past vs. the future

I must admit that I frequently view message boards to see people's comments on a wide range of topics. I had to laugh when I came across the comment below regarding an article about marketing to customers via social media:

"My girlfriend, a marketing major and clothing company owner was ridiculed by another clothing company owner.

"why would you ever put your business myspace address on your business card if you have a website?" he said.

"What's your favorite brand of clothing and how many times did you visit their official website?" she replied. (silence...)

"Now how many times did you check your myspace today?" she says, smiles, and walks away."

I think that the above conversation sums up the 2 varying view points when it comes to social media. There are those companies that embrace the technology & those that obviously don't understand how it can be used for business. I feel sorry for the latter...
