HAHAHAHA. PR people really do live in their own quaint little world.
Be more passive aggressive. Really. Us plebes in the non-marketing circlejerk really are too stupid to see it when you turn a simple statement into sour grapes, condescend with a form letter cliche, weasel-word behind numbers to avoid making any point on your own as to the actual value, further insinuating that anyone who doesn’t “get it” is missing the obvious and needs to be enlightened, and stop at naked disingenuousness.

With communications skills like that, it’s a wonder how anyone outside marketing could ever think you’re a makework field made up of raging incompetents who’d have to find something useful to do if they weren’t desperately propping eachother up.

The last intended use of most who created the tools or use the networks is to add lots of people, Jon R. If anything, what you’re describing is what most real and regular users rebel against.
I personally love it when people use social media not to promote social media, but to enhance and connect with other people for their passions, whether it be business, hobby, or informational.
Maybe you should steer away from the promotional side.. and go looking in the categories of things you actually like to do that you connect with. That’s where you’ll probably find the most value. That’s where I ALWAYS have found the most “for me.” In some ways, social media is simple to manage – you tend to find what you’re looking for, whatever it is.
