Overrelying on Facebook or Twitter could jeopardize your business

Mark Glaser at PBS's MediaShift blog: Warning: Dependence on Facebook, Twitter Could Be Hazardous to Your Business. Excerpt:

"Depending on a third-party service for your livelihood is folly. If they change one component or policy, you could be out of business (or forced to change your business model, which may prove expensive). You can and should use the services for what they provide, but never invest too much time and attention into one platform or another. You never know what's going to happen tomorrow." -- tech blogger Chris Pirillo

I recently transcribed the interview Chris Pirillo did for The Social Media Bible, co-authored by Lon Safko. I became part of TSMB team virturally; I am a virtural transcriptionist. I only mention this as a testament to the power of social media, or as I like to call my combo here, Social Media ² or Social Media Full Circle.
