MySpace, FaceBook, You Tube, Scribd, Squidoo

Any insights welcome :-)
David, I would suggest that rather than trying to sell on a social site, you instead concentrate on two things:

Branding - usually yourself, but I guess in your case the organisation.

And, once you've grabbed their interest, offer them a way to subscribe (optin) to your list. Then, away from the social site you can develop relationships with the subscribers to your list and, when appropriate, sell to them on an ongoing basis.

If you wish, my profile has a link to my MySpace site. It may give you some ideas.

You will see from the over 2500 friends I have on this site that my page has been around
for some time, and without a trace of a problem.
