Sana said: "The business community from establishing ties with rush, but the two sides do not have a common goal of these efforts will eventually end in failure." So-called "common goal" means that enterprises can achieve the purpose of publicity, but also to attract consumers .

And to find the balance point will not be easy. The most attractive and networking programs for business has no value, is often a flash in the pan; and marketing activities on the Internet does not give users a good impression, Sana also described Facebook as an example.
