When it comes to getting conversations started I think twitter is always the first suggestion on most peoples mind. Personally I'm not a twitter fan, I use a million other social platforms and just can't bring myself to include it as well. That being said, it can be done without twitter as well so I think for all of you who like myself are not active on twitter its important to remember that Ryan's suggestions can easily be implemented on any number of social platforms out there.

Most marketing agencies that were considered great are struggling with this paradigm shift; I interact with ad agencies with really creative ideas but they are almost always limited to TV, Radio or print. They are all about conveying a message. But as you said, social marketing is about conversations. @Ryan: Great topic!

People tend to trade with those that they have a relationship with and a warm lead is more likely to give referrals to you as well. Thank you for the insight.

So I suppose this provides a way to discuss the raw functionality of the site. However there is still nowhere for users to congregate and chat amongst themselves. In the olden days, a site would often have a forum, or an Internal messaging system between members. Stackoverflow doesn't enable this kind of communication and it seems to be thriving because of it.

This was a great read (as usual!) but one point in particular popped out at me: why do you recommend using "View prices & plans" over "Free Trial"? Is this based on your own conversion data or something else? I've been using the word Free partly because so many marketing books recommend it, but i'd love to hear your experiences. Thanks!
