As for the narcissism I think it's just a natural thing that is sometimes hard to deal with and easy to do without thining. We always talk about what we know best, and we know ourselves better than any other subject. So maybe the narcissim stems from spending too much time on the networks without a goal in mind.

I just read today that Facebook now accounts for 4.1 minutes of every 100 minutes spent online (& 1/3 of all social network traffic). Which when considering how big a place the internet is that is a TON of traffic. Maybe people are spending more and more time on it and other networks, running out of things to do / say but don't want to get offline so they turn to themselves and begin indulging in the one subject where everyone is an expert. Ourselves.

Just a thought.

If the work behind the brands is amazing, the brands develop themselves. A little nurturing and guidance maybe, but enduring brands transcend themselves by being something amazing. Doing something valuable nearly always speaks for itself. The credit happens naturally. And oddly, the people driving some of these amazing efforts online are quick to shine the spotlight on others. Which, in turn, causes us to remember *them* all the more vividly. Funny, that…

“We are what we repeatedly do.”

Thank you for the mention, and the compliment.
