With Web 2.0 came a new openness. People now regularly Twitter, Blog and post to Facebook things they never would have broadcast to the world prior to Web 2.0. With great openness comes great opportunity for your competition and even criminals. I just read an MSNBC article that talks about how people tweet that they are on vacation giving details about where and how long they will be gone. The whole world now knows that their house is sitting empty and for how long. This just seems like a bad idea. Would you post an ad in a newspaper letting the whole town know that you are away and your house is empty? Interesting read and a little bit of a lesson… http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31921967/ns/business-consumer_news/

Yes, Facebook, Twitter and Blogs are essentially free from a monetary standpoint. There are however other costs – primarily the resources and time that you need to devote to these social mediums. I believe that the costs are still considerably less than a company would have to spend on traditional media to achieve similar results. See what they think at MSNBC.com:
