I am a social media freelancer and your topic of discussion is a common one. Are social media networks advertising? Absolutely. Indiscreet sometimes, but they all have a motivation behind them. We are all selling something. Ideas, products, opinions and stories. No one is better than the next. Advertising can be intrusive in the social media world because the simple fact is: No one cares about you or your product. People forget that the person who cares most about what they have to say or sell is THEM! Therefore, it is very important to find an angle, a passionate route or an innovative way to express an idea. Help people. Give advice. Advertise in off-beat ways. Use polls. Support other people (using applications such as Digg). The funny thing is, what used to be simple social networking has now become an entirely different ball game. Advertisers should most certainly use skillful tactics in the "social space" of choice.
