First I would Like to thank Seth Godin for inspiring this Squidoo Twttrstrm. You've heard the old adage what came first the chicken or the egg. His blog post got me thinking. We only have to look at the topĀ  Super Bowl Commercials to see the power of marketing first at $3 millionĀ  a pop for a 30 sec. ad.

For an example, we saw Social Media as a cheap way to introduce our home business online because this home business isn't a household name yet. I wish somebody would just invent a scratch and sniff screen.

Social Marketing has helped us get the conversation started first with prospective customers.Social media will drive the marketing of any product further than traditional advertising ever dreamed of.

What do you think?
