Valeria Maltoni over at Conversation Agent has an interesting blog post up this morning on  interaction within the social media space.  Since conversation is a huge part of my job as Community Manager at NewsGator Widgets, I found the post to be highly pertinent.  I suggest you read the whole post, but here are a few of my favorite nuggets from it:

• "Most behaviors and ideas spread through populations because of what the members of the populations do or think or say in response to each other"
• "We are all moving very fast these days. At times our paths cross just like ships in the night."
• "In marketing we talk about value propositions all the time. These are the benefits you bring to the table as seen by your customers...[there is] a bell curve between company-speak and customer-speak. The truth, and value, is often somewhere in between, where the conversation takes place."
