I am a trained bodyworker and not much taken with cyborg culture but I do love the possibilities for creativity and something totally different to emerge.   Melanie MiMi Hegge Music Word Media Group http://musicwordmedia.net Thank you.  I very much appreciate your commentary and the perspective it is based on.  I am new to the online marketing and social media scape and I intuitively recognize what you advise as true for most people.  It is important that this common sense information be shared as we create the dynamics of what meaningful on-line and virtual relationships will look like.  I am immediately suspcious and also concerned about what relationships based on commodification will mean for our real social intereactions.

If someone (like you) adds value to me with 20 blogs posts and/or tweets, that one request you make to me almost causes me to feel obligated to do what you ask.
