I really appreciated both ideas and the way you put them. I'm an analyst in a middle-size Russian marketing company and wish to integrate social media things into our job. I'm just making first steps on this way - looking around, figuring out what's going on and how it all works, but even now I see that reaching my goal will be quite a challenge. :D Great post, thank you.

Products SHOULD have wikipedia entries. Maybe not *ALL* things belong, I didn't say to violate any TOS! I apologize if using the above techniques requires the application of some common sense, I guess I figured that was implied. And by the way, my harsh tone is a direct result of you questioning whether or not I'd let the comment fly. Maybe you shouldn't just imply an accusation when commenting on someone's blog? Especially if you do it without adding a real name to the comment. Of *course* it’s what Wikipedia is for. Products SHOULD have wikipedia entries.

Huh? This is not what Wikipedia is for. And even in relation to a service description, you cannot link or mention the name of a service provider in Wikipedia unless it is "notable" meaning it has press (not paid-for advertising). And even *if* your service is notable, that is still illicit use of Wikipedia. Considering this blunder, I can't help to question just how much expertise is used to back up this article... Now lets see if this posts and lives up to the "open & honest communications policy"... Re: “List your product on Wikipedia and other sites.” Huh? This is not what Wikipedia is for.

Do you ever run into push back or defensiveness from PR agencies who worry about losing control of the products internally crafted message? Great ideas, Jeremy.
