I've seen many small 100-300 follower Twitter accounts that earn consistent revenue, far more than many 10000 follower accounts see. That said, I guess we all worry what others think of our businesses from time to time. As long as you know what you're getting, I guess it's alright. - John @Marketing Monkey – that is a constant concern with brands, and social media followers are often mistakenly viewed as social ‘popularity’ – which isn’t always the case.

I think people buying followers and likes without knowing what to expect is a big problem. Personally, I've found that purchasing followers and likes is the best way to avoid your company being seen as a ""failure"" on twitter which is important for larger, well known companies. I've helped a few sector-leading organisations get set up on twitter and facebook and they all asked ""What will people thing if we only have a handful of followers in 6 months time ..."". They all purchased followers and likes from sites like www.socialkudos.co.uk to put their minds at ease. These follows and likes will not have interacted with the companies, but that wasn't the intention." “Thank you for a great article.

Pinterest strips all the metadata from any image posted on their site and does not provide a link back to the originator. Furthermore, Pinterest holds accountable the "unsuspecting" person who pinned an image (without permission) for any lawsuits. There have been many interesting articles/blogs on this issue and you can find many more just by googling "copyright on pinterest". Here are a couple of blogs I found particularly good: http://ddkportraits.com/2012/02/why-i-tearfully-deleted-my-pinterest-inspiration-boards/. http://artists-bill-of-rights.org/news/campaign-news/pinterest-versus-ethics-and-the-law-%11-part-1/ You do realize that Pinterest violates copyright laws?

I'm giving it a try however because, frankly, it's fun! It's also extremely addictive, so caveat emptor. If a business is using it, they need to allocate someone's time to the project.
