I think "markets are where value is exchanged", the conversation is the 'social lubricant', the negotiation if you will, but the conversation is a means to an end, not the end itself. Take a look at my prediction/imperative for 2009 here: http://experiencecurve.com/archives/my-2009-prediction-on-social-media-and-beyond-the-flight-from-growth-to-value If you are taking an economics class then you will enjoy the concept that I propose in that post. Cheers! Hey Jesse, I would actually beg to differ on this, I think we’ve focuses way too much on conversation ever since the Cluetrain announced that “markets are conversations”.

Twitter is certainly a great case study here, but I'd say there are values beyond numbers....well, because I'm not a big numbers guy (sometimes my Achilles heel). In Flickr, I've been able to connect with people in Italy. Photos I've posted there then embedded in my blog have become a source for Google searchers who want to learn more about a place I visited in the southern region of Puglia. This combo has introduced me to new friends and even families who have shared a magical "thank you!" Just today, I got a comment from author James Mapes on my personal blog. It's Christmas Eve...and somehow Google decided to send James an alert with a link to my BookStack blog post from last year! I got the magic of reading a personal note directed to me, but shared publicaly for anyone to see if they visit my blog -- or search Google for James Mapes. I love the math, and we need these case studies to encourage top brass at companies to put more resources online -- if it makes sense and helps the company remain viable. If 2009 is the year of conversation, then along with that will come a better understanding of "the value" of these conversations both with regard to analytics...and the magical "wow" factor that comes from human interaction.
