UGH. Just like Twitter, they aren't, Jontish. You are seeing the norm. If you guys want to be successful, you are going to have to stop believing the bullshit and lies out there, especially on message boards.

The facebook stuff is really nice for marketing and also selling. I have couple of friends that over facebook are selling some products (expensive ones if I may add) to people that are far far away from them (Macedonia and Spain, Bulgaria etc.). And not just that, if not sell then you can invite them to sell for you offering them profit and then they invite someone else and the circle expands. But not only facebook, now more and more people all over the world are online on IM software like skype and messenger almost all day. You can simply search for some name and star an direct conversation with those guys marketing them your products. Some online games can be good for marketing too. You can advertise there with the players over conversation, it won't be pushy like on skype because on the games there are many conversations with the players. My cousin sold some computer parts over one game . You just need to be innovative and good talker . And when the conversation you started goes in upper direction, then it is easy.

I'm more on relying in twitter and stumble upon. They can really give you a good traffic. As long as you've done the right procedure. In social bookmaking, propeller and digg is one of my good source. All you need to do is create you good reputation and participate.
You can expand your contacts and build relationship with those in the same field as yours by using social networks. It's also a way to get traffic to your website if you post a URL on your profiles.
Social networking definitely helps any online business. It simply means advertising any service or products for people that might be interested. =WebAgentsPro=
You need to socialize and interact with people for you to promote yourself and your business as well and social networking sites like facebook and twitter are the best way or place to do this. Internet marketing is incomplete without social networking..
