Agree on the whole. I always find these categories a little artificial: Really "Forrester-speak". :) I think the recommendations are the most interesting. I'd make a separate post out of that.
- Meryn Stol
You say it yourself: "What’s interesting isn’t this vision for the future, but what it holds in store for brands, " . I'd like these recommendations to be fleshed out with concrete first steps to take. Doesn't have to be more than links to relevant resources.
- Meryn Stol
Meryn The recommendations are fleshed out in the actual reports. Our clients (brands) have access to see them.
- Jeremiah Owyang
Hmm ok... Then I'll need to get the details elsewhere I guess. :)
- Meryn Stol
Interesting categorization of the development into eras. Any consideration to the impact of scale on the 5th era? Just as a recent example with Facebook, their format evolution was not well received by what is not an insignificant number of members, and yet the reality is - that change - negative impact not withstanding is not rolling back.
- Patrick Boegel
There will be a give and take between communities and brands. The thing is, Facebook doesn't have a competitive alternative that users could go to. In my report, we suggest that active communities could define specs for products, and bid MULTIPLE companies to build it.
- Jeremiah Owyang
I completely understand that Jeremiah, just wondering if the nature of scale impacted or perhaps better said impacts the thought process for very complex long term brand relationships, ie Health Insurance, Financial Services, a college/university choice, where consversation and user invovlement can be complicated. Very interested in the full report either way. Thx.

Alp, Many of Forrester's clients are large brands who have a subscription. We're still sharing a great deal on this blog, and have given the report to bloggers to cover, so there's value to be had there.

Jeremiah (and the team), a great piece of work and, I imagine, a labour of both love and loathing at times!

"How Brands Should Prepare" is a great bit of information. Jeremiah, it would be nice (i'd be reading) if you expanded in future blog posts about the "How Brands Should Prepare".

That's likely to be a research report I'm thinking about writing Frank

Probably correct in assuming that most online social networks will neither spawn nor solidify to the point of being considered ‘affinity groups’ with the level of cohesion, unified budgetary authority or organized implementation capability of NGOs, churches, or employee aggregations. Even in the era of social commerce. I hope I’m wrong.

I was thinking about this today - I don't remember 4 or 5 entire tech conferences devoted to just Facebook in a single year. That makes me think something's different about Twitter. Maybe you're right on the reasons - I'm not sure what it is, but Twitter has the celebrity appeal that is drawing more people percentage-wise than Facebook. Interesting to see if Facebook can turn things around (I have faith they will).
- Jesse Stay
Jesse: I've talked with dozens of businesses and they all say Facebook isn't working as well for them.
- Robert Scoble
Facebook needs to fix the fundamental issues I laid out in that post before businesses will get excited. Hopefully the FriendFeed team can help them there.
- Robert Scoble
Twitter is so much more live, fun, exciting, happening!
- Marilyn Jansen Lopes
Robert yeah - that's why I was one of the few excited about the FriendFeed acquisition. I think it has the chance to fix those problems. I agree completely. In the meantime I'm going to make Facebook better for business on SocialToo. :-)
- Jesse Stay
i think robert's hit it on the head. FB is simply too cumbersome and too information-poor to be of value to businesses; twitter's extreme simplicity ("just" a stream) and ability to be mined make it easy and valuable for businesses to use. i'm on a trip to nyc right now and am amazed at how much local businesses have picked up using Twitter.

Twitter is open to the world. Facebook content is only really fully open if you subscribe. Facebook has an image problem where business is concerned, basically it's perceived to be full of kids wittering on about drunken nights out. Similar opinions could be held about Twitter but successes are easy to see and the 140 character limit also limits the bullshit. Twitter is an old fashioned...

It so baffling how such a mess of a site that is USELESS w/out a 3rd party app has such a HUGE adoption rate. On second thought, I blame you guys, Robert & co., for bringing the masses over. Now, no one wants to leave! ;)
- Mona Nomura
it's not the site itself that is really the useful part, it's the platform it has become. Actually, I'd venture to say that, since most people still use the web interface, it explains why most people still don't see the power of Twitter. I've always disliked it, but it's success in penetrating...uh...everything cannot be denied.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Maybe power is a little strong, LOL. I've never noticed the search being broken, though.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
@rasheen @mona - it's irrelevant whether the useful part is the site or a third party app. No third party would exists without Twitter. How smart is to let others do the hard work at your place (if you'll be able to make money from this)? ;-)
- Markingegno - Donato
Maybe it's the tools I use (or don't use) - pre Gnomedex I had two people monitoring on Tweet Deck, two on Co-Tweet, and Chris would monitor via web...and whatever he uses. We'd STILL have discrepancies. Baffling.

- Mona Nomura
Scobleizer: I could not disagree with you more about "Facebook needs to fix the fundamental issues I laid out in that post before businesses will get excited". Look at companies like Zynga who are making high double digit to low triple digit millions on top of the Facebook platform. Also Playfish, Slide, Playdom, etc. You're just wrong on this one--businesses are already there, and making lots of money.
- Eric Florenzano
after years of avoiding it, I broke down and registered for a FB account. the inability for me to choose whatever user name I want is close to a deal breaker for me. But I went ahead and registered anyway. After 30 minutes I got tired of all of the customization and quit.

Just as AIM was adopted by the masses in the late 90's, Twitter is being adopted now. I think, in the next decade, competing services will arise making Twitter just one service among several status/comment services feeding into a more broad (more robust) platform that has yet to be defined. Just as you can now chat between AIM and Yahoo IM, you'll be able to interact between Twitter and...

I not sure that you're right, Robert. But I'm not sure that you're wrong either. Twitter going for that price would kick off another tech bubble.

I don't think I could ever engage with Twitter in its current form. The reason why businesses and celebrities like it is that it's so simple. The can post updates from their mobile phones and look at their follower count and feel good about themselves being popular. But I doubt that most people see more than 1% of the tweets from the people they follow. I also don't think that they can be worth anything like $5B because they have no assets.
- James Myatt
From posterous: Wow.. I completely disagree!! Yes it is good for the duration of a tweet and maybe even the duration of it's search (two weeks), but the entire world doesn't think/work within such a limited window. Yes the twitter environment is successful, but where would twitter be without all the layers and add-ons that actually make it easy to use? You can't (fully) figure that into...

we need to wait for the Facebook/FF/Linkedin $1bn revenue IPO before we place that value on Twitter. An FB/FF/LI combination could justify a $10bn IPO in 2010. Twitter can't (yet).
- Thomas Power
Robert, this looks way off dude. 'Underhyped', what else is more hyped than Twitter these days? And how did you figure the $5-10 B valuation? It may end up being worth something, but wonder if any businesses actually quantified their ROI of using Twitter. Most seem to be on the bandwagon but fumbling in the dark trying to figure out if it means anything or not.
- Nalin Perera
Facebook got a jewel with the FriendFeed acquisition. The ability to create publicly available informaiton and track the social web is there for the taking, if they pursue it.

@edwk / Edwin, totally agree with you that Twitter has huge issues in the user discovery department without the use of third party tools. It is pretty much inexcusable that they, instead of pushing the foolish "Suggested Users" thing, haven't simply INDEXED THE BIOS to allow (new) users to search over those with a simple searchbox: "What are you interested in? [type a keyword]"...

Several reasons: 1) They don't know an update is available. 2) If it a manual process, people are just lazy. 3) Don't want to spend money on the update if they are happy with the present version. 4) Afraid of bugs in new versions of software. ( I usually wait a week or so when a new version comes out to make sure there are no major bugs discovered out of the gate).
- Jeff P. Henderson
Because many updates are not real functional upgrade, but only some ads are refreshed. It's useless for us.
- Zhou
If people got fed up with upgrade pricing, the future will be a bit annoying for them. Because almost everything is "free" on internet. They wouldn't even lift a finger without any sales, so upgrade pricing is the way. note: upgrades can be cracked too, that's the neverending story .)

I like having each service as an individual contact. Much easier. Can we see the same for Pownce?
- Chris Nixon
Well, IMified has taken bot to a next level.. I even created a customized option to check my google calendar appointments for today (a quick schedule for today) by interacting with bot! Not sure, if they have one for Pownce..

One year later. Just bumping this because it's the one year anniversary of the only item on FriendFeed to get more than 400 likes. (452 at the moment)

Versus really using friendfeed.

I've personally sent tech bloggers like TechCrunch hundreds of thousands of visits over the past year. So, why wouldn't they just shove in their headlines here?
- Robert Scoble
Participation drives more traffic - that's why they should participate. I had over 300 visitors on my blog yesterday from using and participating on FriendFeed. Twitter, where I have way more followers, I only had 60 visitors.
- Jesse Stay
Also, if you write about FriendFeed, it gives you traffic ;-)
- Jesse Stay
Jesse: looking at the lists at ffholic that isn't really that demonstratable.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, the reason I became visible on FriendFeed wasn't because I was a tech blogger, it was because I participated, and recognized FriendFeed early. There are a lot of folks who participate a ton who get traffic as a result. Spreading the wealth gives back. Always. And just because those brand names on FFHolic have subs doesn't mean they get traffic.

I think we should use FriendFeed to talk more about FriendFeed! #;+)
- Gregg Scott
if we use friendfeed to talk about friendfeed, we become as bad as the twitters. </sarcasm>
- Evan Travers
Louis: You're absolutely correct. No offense, but I wouldn't have known who you are without your involvement here. Now that I've seen your participation here, I've investigated who you are more thoroughly. This is a win-win situation for both of us. I learn more, you increase your subscribership, and IMO the entire social medial word is enriched. The more a person uses (posts, passively shares, comments, likes) I wrote a longer response as a comment which will be reprinted on my blog later this week.

So when do we get our cult robes? Every cult has some sweet robes.

Brad: that would be cool to get Twitter robes. Then we could Tweet in our robes.
- Robert Scoble
That make so much sense.

I really really want a twitter robe! I might actually make one for myself.
- D. Eda Goze
Maybe Twitter is more of a 60's hippie Burning Man type of a cult that a robed one
- rob
Twitter isn't a cult - cult's generally die when their leader does and if Twitter sells (and it probably will either late '09 or '10) the founders will probably leave after a year or so, and Twitter will still be rocking ;)
- Nicholas James
There are those of us that use Twitter that don't fit all five definitions of a cult, as laid out in this article.
- Mike Shields
So twitter is smurfy?
- Keith Barrett
Actually I see it as friendster -> myspace -> facebood -> twitter -> { friendfeed | ??? }

Does OpenID need to be hard? - http://factoryjoe.com/blog...

Hitting the nail on the head. Whilst "brands" want to have their logo emblazoned over every login box it just creates confusion and a feeling that OpenID is not ready for primetime. I guess in an ideal world one's browser would know which provider(s) the reader utilises and only show the likely options - that would be a big step forward IMO
- Barney Craggs
The browser can certainly be part of the solution, but we need to think outside the browser as well...
- Chris Messina
"Outside the browser"? What do you mean?
- Michael Bailey
I don't use my openid anymore... too complex...
- Aad 't Hart
@Aad't what was your OpenID and where were you using it?
