<description><![CDATA[This concept of never-ending friending has spawned a new breed (or rather generation) of consumer...one that wants brands to befriend them, not market to them.While it's obvious that these branded friendships can mean cha cha ching to a brand that executes effectively, not everyone has the brand cache or cool factor to be friended by 100K 20-somethings interested in building a personalized CherryCoke MySpace page.
