What You Wanted
Strategy; how companies are mixing new media w/ traditional PR, and what’s moved to mainstream.

How to determine a “value” for social media in order to charge appropriately and quantify results.
Is it possible that the new consumer driven social networks -consumers connect through concepts, ideas, values and icons, created and related to other people through electronic interchanges filled with pictures, words, music and the like, not by marketers and manufacturers and the communication experts – will be the new 21st century brand?
