What surprises me is that the Social Media industry continuously claims that advertsing doesn't work. Yet, we keep trying to monetize ourselves through advertising system like Assetize and the venture community keeps biting. Where's the disconnect? I personally think Twitter was smart not heading down the advertising path and try to find something better / different that will truly give it a unique value proposition. We already know it is a unique service, so there is a way. I tend to agree with Burnman. What surprises me is that the Social Media industry continuously claims that advertsing doesn't work.

While I could live with advertisements if they come from Twitter to support the service, 3rd party spammers such as Magpie, TwittAd, and now Assetize only serve to devalue the platform and the users who unfortunately utilize them.
