But if the great point of Facebook, Twitter and the whole web 2.0 is interactivity, then ReTweets and clicks, as I think Alphonse tries to point out, should be the real objective of the marketing strategy. Yes, the size of our network still matters (it's the first step, anyways), but if we could go further and look for implication we should totally go for it. @Michelle Blanc: I'm sorry I cannot read in French yet so I just read the post you linked and cannot comment further on this... but the penis joke was perfectly understandable.

Now, about my blabber nonsense, you probably do not understand my French correctly or you do not understand the subtlety there is in my post. By the way, if I talk bullshit about you in my blog, I will have the decency to post a link to your blog, so people (and myself) can read for themselves the false statements you are making. Here it is: http://www.michelleblanc.com/2009/08/26/grosseur-compte-sur-medias-sociaux/ and in it, I quoted the very respected Brian Solis and his post http://www.briansolis.com/2009/08/size-matters-job-seekers-measure-the-size-of-your-social-graph/ That specifically said that size matters in recruiting so called social media edxperts. By size he did not mean humongous, like the 100 000 followers but rather the 250 Followers it takes to be a little somebody on twitter (you passed that test) and to be able to project that you know what you are talking about... For your information, I found your not that well researched post on socialmention.com, permitting me to correct the facts...
