The one thing that really irks me about social media is that it's basically a full-time job, when I already have one of those. My biggest social media tool is still email. Nothing beats a personal message. I only use a few other SM tools sparingly, like StumbleUpon, LinkedIn, and Facebook. I'm with Wolfy -- I'd love to see what you think are possible solutions.

I would probably choose the latter path as well. If I use "YouTube, Blogger, Digg, del.icio.us, Flickr or StumbleUpon", all essentially for free unless you choose to pay extra, you just need to understand the tradeoff involved. I'm not saying that it's right, but it's a decision that the creator needs to make with their eyes wide open. @ onreact - all I am saying is that you ultimately have the choice to use those channels or forge your own path, which you are recommending in terms of Web 2.0 usage.

If I have no personal gain out of the distribution channels and the faceless multimillion dollar corporations own my content and my relations (if you get deleted at XING you loose your social capital) I shall accept it? The revenue should at least be shared. Google does that with custom search for instance. I'm fine with that. My search for this site uses Google Custom Search btw. but I don't earn anything as I was too lazy to do it myself... Revver does that for video... So what Mark?
