There needed to be a different model which takes the same context and converts this into a "conversational" opportunity. Facebook seems to have done just that. Take a look: Fa

Thank God for our internet addiction, though, because we got it from CNN.com as soon as we got home from being out. Obama chose Biden. We can all exhale.
