I totally agree about using social networking for sales. We are killing it with sales from youtube, twitter, facebook, digg, and tumblr

Are you really of the opinion that SOPA is going to take those sites down?

I know that youtube has really cleaned it's act up a lot. Most major artists and companies have their own "channel" now. And Facebook....that one's a tricky beast already. Just ask anybody in porn who has had their profile taken down for no reason at all. The only reason CM"s is still up is because the guys at Facebook are fans of hers and when it got taken down she communicated with them directly (they thought her profile was an impersonator at first).

So I would think that Facebook will be just fine. They police the crap out of it already (as does youtube).

Twitter isn't even a concern with that is it? At least I don't think so.

Anyway...I agree 100% that social networking sites are great tools if you can back it up with what you're selling. We use our band as a legit "mainstream" way to use social networking and then the whole thing kinda takes on a "viral" life of it's own.

I just don't agree that SOPA is going to take down Facebook, or youtube, or google. I think that Google may be held to the fire to clean up it's act (the "Images" tab has more copywritten content on it than any pirate site in the world...and should be eliminated and/or filtered).
