		<description>Mike, you make a good point, and I agree. I don&#039;t think social media is the only content channel. It&#039;s one of many. Executed properly, with a strategic, programmatic approach, it should lead constituents to deeper content channels that enable high-value engagement. 

Without engagement with constituents, the value of social media is questionable. 

Thanks for reading and thoughtful comment.

		<description>I would agree with you to a point... I dont think social media is used best as a pure content channel. There are levels of engagement/ value that can never be hit if it isn&#039;t taken beyond that.</description>
