Say "Sod It!" to Social Media Monitoring

We can see the pro's and con's for both points of view, and it certainly generated a lot of discussion. The original post entitled "Social Media Monitoring: Tie to say "Sod it"?" talks about the perceived breach of trust that may lay in waiting for brands who decided to dive uninvited into conversations across the social web. Should we monitor every conversation? Or should we be less paranoid?  It'd be good to hear what you think.
