		<description>[...] A big post from Jason Falls today debates this even further.  He wonders if BIPs are holding brands hostage: At first glance, you just think, “So what? The brands can just participate in the conversations on the various social networks and they Brands in Public spider will pick up those conversations as well. Hopefully, Brands in Public isn’t doing anything shady by parsing out the brand participation and that theory will hold true. However, think for a moment of the power, reach and influence Godin has. If his idea takes hold (it probably will because on the surface it’s a good one) and he markets it the way he’s capable of, Brands in Public could be come THE place to go see the “unfiltered” conversation about brands everywhere.

		<description>I think it makes him look like the sleazy car salesman of the internet. He obviously understands how CEOs and others in business think, and it looks to me like his ulterior motive is to capitalize on that. No matter how he frames it to make it look like a good thing for these companies, he knows the business world inside out and he knows they&#039;re going to flip out if there&#039;s suddenly something about their business that they don&#039;t have control over.</description>

		<description>What&#039;s the essence of niche community conversation? Discussing the brands, retailers and other commercial industries that interest them. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How will they make money as a niche community? Selling access to the conversations and data contained within to brands, retailers and other commercial industries. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This will happen before SG gets to aggregate the content and sell access rights to it, so it seems pointless in my eyes. A fairly obvious attempt to monetise social media that anyone could have come up with - come guys, get a little more creative.</description>

		<description>I think this will pass without much of an impact... reason being that I think consumers overall won&#039;t go for a company managed, company filtered version of online reputation.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To me, it will mean more if companies interact directly and not expect consumers to come to them (their owned page) for their own reputation.</description>
