I especially agree with the community factors in social media. News sites like digg and reddit have NO tolerance for spammers and gamers. These tactics are easy to sniff out and the communities will rally to shut them down. Great points Joshua. I especially agree with the community factors in social media.

If you have 15 friends all who all bought a car from Jim's Car Emporium and all 15 said they loved it, had a great experience, the price was good, and the car is a great fit for them you are going to remember it. Then when it comes time for you to buy a car you will do your searches online and learn about cars and whatnot but you're going to remember your 15 friends. When it comes time to make that purchase I will always weigh my friends' opinions and recommendations pretty high so Jim's Car Emporium is going to be pretty high on my list of places to look at and do business. That's essentially how social networks and social media function and perform so well. By creating these friendships based on similar interests, similar likes, similar dislikes, and using them to promote the best products and services within the community what really works will always show up at the top. The best aspect of which is that is something is in fact total bunk, or a scam, or not worth the time/energy/money then it will naturally weed itself out and fall into obscurity because the community will see through all of the BS and smack it down for even attempting to game them.
