This is all sage advise my friend. I'd like to write more of my thoughts later when I have more than 5 minutes. Great to see you back in the blogosphere, Kiyoshi. Jeff and I were just talking about you over beers last night.
My company is waaaaaaaaaaaaay to small but I have been runing it for now two years with my biz partner so here are my HUMBLE opinions:
Key components to me always have been:
1) Persistance
2) Under this economy, be ready to do some probono works...
She was. Just being at that table at that time, allowing to jump-start her idea, or having Yahoo! making big-corporation mistakes, or launching while it was easy to raise money.

Some companies with a B2B focus, including my own, are using social media as part of their recruitment strategy. I hear that Twitter in particular is where a lot of potential job applicants are hearing about job opportunities.

My SL Art Retrospective Book
A good Second Life friend of mine Velazquez Bonetto in Germany who runs a virtual art space called Diabolus and an on-going series of virtual art exhibits called CARP 1-6 put together this e-book of my work that spans two years. It's a really nice favor he's done for me and makes for a great record. Thanks Vela!

Looking for Community?
http://www.bluecreativestudio.com/blog/?p=283
What all this social media could boil down to is people looking for community and others who are passionate about the same thing as ourselves.

Social = Sustainable
Get Boundaryless
I work at a company where social initiatives (both web and non-web) could have tremendous potential for improving customer-to-company communication which in turn would help the company grow out of its slow-moving, disconnected state. By creating boundaryless channels between the company, our employees and our customers, what we lose through relinqui… Continue

I really appreciate the work you do in getting us up to speed on effective use of social media (and, yes, its just pure fun too).

I'm looking forward to sharing my expertise in the "old way" and hope you'll all be patient with me as I get up to speed on the "new way." Yoroshiku! Kerry
