			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-and-twitter-will-always-be-crappy-businesses-2010-2">Great article on how social networks will not make successful businesses</a> because they are communication tools, and can&#8217;t sucessfully provide a reliable mixture of content with enough integrity to align a brand against through advertising.</p>
<blockquote><p>Perhaps there is no for-profit business model for social networking. It’s been nearly twenty years and a lot of impressive money and brainpower hasn’t figured it out. Does social networking need a for-profit business model?
</p></blockquote>
<p>Makes me feel optimistic about my own  future in a content production powerhouse. But content providers need to find the best balance between providing content, selling ads to their audiences AND providing function,<br />
giving their content to their audience in the way that the audience demands it. Providing just content online is simply not enough. </p>
