I also agree with all of you. Using social networking sites is really a big help in advertising. Its because there are many people that are using social networks to communicate to other and of course to socialize with other.
Say, how do you get the first followers? The first followers are supposed to appear by following your "follows us on X" link at main site and the network site only amplifies the effect? So you anyway need to use good old ways like google ads to bring users to your site who will click your "follow us" link and that will allow their friends to notice you too?
