The problem is none of them will allow people to just interact without Marketing, PR, and legal departments censoring it. I think it is a great idea.

I think if more companies did this it would give them a "real" presence vs. the “corporate suit” image. And I think that’s where everything is trending. Any other thoughts anyone?

In this early phase, what I see is those who pursue social networking with an authentic desire to communicate (two-way) have succeeded in developing brand affinity and creating opportunities. Those who are obviously utilizing social networking to promote without dialog are largely wasting their time. Yet, this too is not a hard and fast rule.
