We all seem to prefer to talk to others of like mind than to risk any amount of conflict. In recent years I've read that many towns and small cities are more and more voting predominately for one party or the other – because, as they say, birds of a feather flock together. Is it no wonder partisanship in politics has become more solidified? I think of this when you say “we should spend less time talking with each other and more time talking with the un-enlightened.” In activist circles, this is called “preaching to the choir.” What point is there in “stroking each other,” rather than going outside our comfort zone and engaging in honest dialogue? You said it, “it accomplishes little,” and I couldn't agree more.
I really like the idea of interactive content that spreads the ability for more people to engage in the sites they visit, while I also think that this effort must allow for minimal participation. The other day I went to a website of a well-known company and was asked to participate in a “short” survey at the end of my visit. This “short” survey was still going on, and less than half completed, at about 5 minutes. This was too much time for me to invest in as I visited the site for help on something and needed to get back to that project.

Great article, this should be social media law for 2009 from your post “stop thinking about the influencers, but start thinking about the larger audiences of people just toe-tipping the social web, too. Let’s give them something to consume, something to do, some people to interact with on behalf of the brand”
