What's the value of a strapline?

Just do it; The real thing; The world's favourite airline - powerful branding levers.

Are new world brands as adept at creating straplines as old world brands? Google, facebook, digg, twitter - they don't have one....and they'd be quick to say they don't need one...but youtube does: "broadcast yourself" and they could probably do without it, so what gives?

Does a strapline help support an online brand?

I've staked my claim with comotivate - get it together. We'll see what value that adds. "together" is one of my keywords so it makes more meta-sense than "Welcome to comotivate" which is what I had.

Since there are only about 100,000 people in the world that even know about comotivate at the moment, I don't suppose I'm risking much. But I'm ambitious about creating a brand so I'm being deliberately stella in the comparisons I'm drawing.

If anyone has any views on the value of straplines to online brands or a view on "get it together" then please @comotivate me.
