<p>With all this social media at my finger tips, I decided to get some feedback from friends (<a href="http://www.new.facebook.com/profile.php?id=7705035">Facebook</a>) and followers (<a href="http://twitter.com/B_Samic">Twitter</a>).  I put the message below out to both the networks and as you can see in the Facebook example, I had some quality feedback almost immediately!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3018/2826109299_0fdc5f58ea_o.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>This is very interesting because instead of going to some camera site and reading reviews from random editors/consumers, I am getting great recommendations from people I know and respect.  It&#8217;s safe to say I&#8217;m leaning towards a Canon.  They must be doing something right.  <strong>Word of mouth is still the strongest advertising&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Thanks for all the advice!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Nike (or whoever does their marketing) has been making inspiring commercials for as long as I can remember.  I just found a site that lets you check out many of their new ones (Videos &#8211; Nike ).
You know you&#8217;re doing something right when people search out your ads instead of fast-forwarding through them&#8230;
