I think so, but I see some kind of marriage between the two. - Mike Lewis

Not sure, they could certainly merge, for example I'm trying to integrate Twitter (as well as FF) into my blog, so I can continue using the likes of Twitter and FF but also get back into blogging. - Kol Tregaskes

I was writing a YouTube post, and went to double check the limit sizes and time sizes on the upload page on YouTube, and noticed something incredible. The time limit is gone! - Jorge Escobar

This is fantastic! - Spyros Papaspyropoulos from twhirl

Does this mean the boss is going to pay for my iphone??? - Carlin

Nice debate going on in the comments section - mark

The blogosphere is buzzing with discussions about the release of both Google Friend Connect and Facebook Connect frameworks. But in my initial reading of both, I don’t think there was ever a contest: Facebook Connect is a clear winner for me, and has made me rethink of how important this feature is for the survival of Mark Zuckerbeg’s social website. - Jorge Escobar from Bookmarklet

As it is online, so it is in the real world. I personally fall into each category depending on the context. - Pangaea Organica from twhirl

I read a blog that I don't agree with at ALL. Because the blogger insistently wears blinders and somehow was given a big stick to carry, I don't post often. However, this blogger has quite a vocal participant base. I know the blog is somehow "popular," but I can't imagine that the formula would work accurately for that particular blog. - Kimberly J

Cult? - Jannifer @wordsforliving from Bookmarklet

Social networks again prove the power of direct communication unhindered by industrial media. - David Sim from Bookmarklet

Wow, nice article. I just did a post which has the opposite viewpoint whereby mainstream media is still a trusted source over micro-blogging! http://oldskoolmark.wordpress.com/2008... - mark

Do you create multiple accounts in social media platforms - one for your business or agency and another personal? If you just use one account for everything, where do you draw the line at sharing personal stuff, discussing politics, etc.? - Laura Norvig

I am not two-faced for separating private and professionallife, but I do have two separate paths sometimes as I try to post in 2 languages (Italian, my native, and English) for people who speak one or the other. - Flavio

Imagine you are in the future. You wake up, get some coffee and sit down on your network appliance. You have an energy bill to review. You open the summarized description of the bill, read how it could affect your country’s diplomatic relations, but how it would also be good for the economy. You browse what other citizen’s comments are. Finally you make up your mind. You press the “approve” button and immediately watch a graph of what the rest of the country thought. You dress up and go to work. Welcome to the open source democracy. - Jorge Escobar from Bookmarklet

Now picture a powerful player who wants the bill approved... paying hundreds of thousands of "employees" to sign in and post their comments while the rest of us who actually have to work, can't spend our entire day on those forums. Welcome to Mob Rule 2.0. - Carlos Granier-Phelps

Best study i've seen done on ad words usage in the US elections - mark

discussion generated by Social Media Breakfast | Singapore - Daryl Tay

"Embracing the hyperlink ethos of the Web to a degree not seen before, news organizations are becoming more comfortable linking to competitors — acting in effect like aggregators. The Washington Post recently introduced a political Web site that recommends rival sites. This week NBC will begin introducing Web sites for its local TV stations with links to local newspapers, radio stations, online videos and other sources. And The New York Times will soon offer its online readers an alternative home page with links to competitors.These experiments exemplify “link journalism,” an idea that is gaining traction in other newsrooms across the country. “It is a fundamentally different mindset” for journalists." - David Young from Bookmarklet

not buying 3.0 - Bobbi Newman

"According to the 2008 Cone Business in Social Media Study, 93 percent of Americans believe a company should have a presence in social media, while an overwhelming 85 percent believe a company should not only be present, but also interact with its consumers via social media." - David Young from Bookmarklet

Yeah, it will definitively mean some time of understanding of the scheme to another 'contribution' level, like me being for that product and waking its web usage by using smaller self-contained volunteers, each for your spot acting from the 'product' community perspective. Or a cold-blooded newsletter type of. Will be weird to establish. - ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,

Totally agree. What I've been trying to do is get an understanding of how (or if) social media can scale. IMO, the ego and evangelism part is clouding our ability to see the possibilities clearly. - Tom Cunniff

Agree there is a transformation underway. My hope is that people will become open to a much wider variety of ideas and points of view. If so, the human race has the potential to get a lot smarter, a lot faster. My fear is that people will fracture into tiny groups who all think entirely alike. If so, we risk becoming arrogrant, doctrinaire and xenophobic. Unexamined Groupthink could be the greatest danger of our connected age. - Tom Cunniff

Tom, loved your both posts! The way we can harness Social Media and do wonders with it we need to be more open minded and accept differences even if we do not agree! Robert Scoble and Michael Arrington are bad examples for SM! They block bloggers just because they do not agree with them! FAIL Please read my post on Forecasting Social Media FAIL http://www.igorthetroll.com/blog... - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Mostly about marketing and social media. - David Young from Bookmarklet

seems useful, although a bit too many. Wish there was a way to filter out the good content. - Tibi Puiu

Are they just using this site to handle the crisis? Did they maintain some kindda blog before this? - mark

Thank you!!! We're without TV right now because of a remodel. Don't care that it's delayed. It'll just be nice to watch some of it. - SusanVillasLewis

Big fan of this. Great to have up-to-date highlights about the Games! - Ryne Nelson
