&lt;p&gt;I am cruising the net tonight and ran across your blog. I thought I would stop to ask some advise being that you seem to have expertise in social networking and fundraising. I am not a non-profit but... &amp;nbsp;I have built a social network/viral marketing program to try and raise funds for my racing team. I leverage the power of existing social networks with viral chat and news, produce my own viral videos, and media trade for web TV (pod casting) I am frustrated in getting companies to realize the value and in finding companies to buy into the program. (actually in just getting in the door) I have great numbers in viewing impressions and repetative frequency of appearance. I target the social niche of the drag racing and car enthusiasts culture. I track everything I can and have noticed that my media grows exponentially according to the research I have found. Who... Which companies do you think are ripe to buy into this type of program. Who has been looking and considering this as an alternative to traditional marketing. By the way, love Rock Band. My boyfriends brother bought it for his kids and we could hardly pull ourselves away from it at the last family gathering. If you have time to drop me a line or if you can think of anything that might help. Please let me know&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Deborah&lt;/p&gt;
