I was going Sphinn and say "No Comment" but to answer your article title question... my response is... what community doesn't have some type of dysfunction? Good research dude. I appreciate your commitment to this industry.
Dude, you bring up some excellent points here. True social media is based on building relationships, pretty much like everything else in life and business. A "player" is just not going to get very far in pretending like they are interested in the relationship. I don't think an SMO company can do the actual work for another company or organization. It's like hiring someone else to parent your own child. Even if that type of a situation began to work it would still be based on the sincerity (of the hired help) in the relationship. Social Media profiles, the maintenance, and babysitting like you talk about, are tools that the client needs to be taught how to use. An SMO firm cannot use those tools posing as the client. Really my thought is.... how can an SMO company truly get effectively involved in the relationships that a company needs to have with it's partners, customers, employees, etc without being passionate about that which the company has a passion for? You just can't fake the funk for someone else and have successful long lasting results.
