It's a good point, though. In our hurry to talk about what's changed, we often leave out what hasn't. If you happen to find yourself up at 5am your time, you could always follow the discussion and tweet a question with the hashtag #smbottawa. :) It’s funny – I’m always really skeptical about presentations on social media from agency people, but Collin is definitely one who gets it, and probably as intolerant as anyone of the snake oil salesmen.

I'd be interested in what someone from BBDO might say, hoping they point out that social media is merely an extension of the concept from another BBDO alum that a brand is the relationship between the company and the consumer. Wish I could be there. :) All my best, Rich Ryan,
