If technology is changing how we consume media, then success in marketing within a social media world is going to hinge on how advertisers can get their message across without seeming like douches. Someone's buying all the new phones and ringtones and cars and clothes and bling that the savvy youth is consuming, and it's not always clueless parents and others that have been duped by old advertising models. I suspect even the coolest cats are consuming at least <em>some</em> advertising - but it's just not setting off any alarm bells. To the other point, since it's a couple months after you wrote this, you know how twitter became something of a lifeline for those oppressed in Iran. Just goes to show you how some technologies can have unanticipated benefits - and in this case - on an international scale. Nicely done!
