Lehman's Terms of Business

I honestly feel that use of Amazon.com is a perfect example of true social video engagement. It provides an open platform for viewers and readers to respond to products and services and provide feedback on the review. The keyword is SOCIAL. Video Reviews on sites like Amazon.com combine the essential elements of participation and engagement; a reviewer can review your video review.
