Brand content that people choose to see (and choose to share) is infinitely more valuable than finding a better way to insert and interrupt. Joe Marchese stresses the value of merging brands into content in the latest edition of the Online Spin.

Viral emails where consumers can add their pictures or voices are taking off like wildfire, garnering tons of attention for the brands, such as OfficeMax, Purina, and Careerbuilder, that have used them.

A recent report from eMarketer, which highlights data from WOMMA member companies Bazaarvoice and the Keller Fay Group, tells marketers to drop their fear of consumer ratings and reviews. More than half of the data's respondents reported that they leave predominantly positive reviews.

While Facebook is the current social media darling, MySpace is still larger, especially in the 12- to 17-year-old and 18- to 34-year-old demographics, which are twice as large as Facebook's.
