The lesson I've learned from LinkedIn Answers is answer a question in a way that best helps the person asking it. Sometimes you might be the right answer, sometimes you might not, but if you're honest about what is best for them, you'll come out ahead in the long run.<br><br>-Josh Thank you for the kind words Michael.

Why? Globalization is by definition the process by which people of the world are unified into a single society and function together (source Wikipedia). I hate to lump social media into the larger group of advertising mediums, but go with me here. Every other ad medium doesn't allow for people to interact with brands. Think about it. We can't talk back to the TV, radio or internet display ads. We can't yell at the junk mail we receive in the mail. But social media allows to start a conversation with brands or effect how these brands operate. It creates a level playing field for brands and the larger global community.<br><br>Thanks again for the comments, and I look forward to seeing more from you.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Michael Hey Jason,

Do you feel that globalization and the overall global economy will become more susceptible to this type of advertising? How would you transition these concepts from smaller operations to large multi-national corporations? Your viewpoints are on the cutting edge of this medium and I look forward to reading more of your posts. I will definitely follow you on twitter.<br><br>All the best,<br><br>Jason I really am impressed with your layered appreciation and over all knowledge concerning social networking.
