The article shows an easy understanding of how social media extend the online conversation we have with our customers — Cluetrain Manifesto again, folks — but that this empowerment of the customer is not a total barrier to marketing.  You just need to respect the media, participate appropriately, and let good things happen.  This is a tough sell to control freaks.
