Marketing experts Keller and Fay, of the Keller and Fay Group, argue that social networking cannot truly replace face-to-face conversations by using numerous examples and case histories of successes and failures, focusing on the "social" in social media, and suggest that producing conversations, interactions, and social influence should be the object of marketing.
