um, I think Douglas misses the point of a company getting involved with social media. If a CEO can live in a glass bubble and have their company do well, then so be it.

But, if a CEO wants to have contact with customers and generate new customers and cultivate how their brand is perceived, then it's a good idea. Even if they are hiring someone to do it for them.

Haughty disdain for potential customers is usually seen as a bad idea, eh?

I had read the original article also, and I am glad to see someone poking holes in the original authors biased assumptions. How would the author interpert it if the 100 top CEO all had Face book pages and refused to allow anyone to be their frioend unless they were also a CEO of a Fortune 100 company. That would show they used Facebook, but what good is that?
