Great Post! Excellent to see this is reaching mainstream Social Media. Focusing on Twitter and Seesmic and whatnot is OK but don't forget that this is where real change is happening, Where the internet becomes an enabling technology for something more than enterprise collaboration: freedom, democracy, health and education. And this is why we need an integrative science to evolve ASAP. We need a framework to make sense of social disruption. Would love to see an article on: http://webscience.org/ - Aldo Bucchi from FriendFeed MT Plugin

And the more recent http://www.webfoundation.org/ These initiatives appear totally disconnected from the current buzz, but they are actually at the core of the evolution of the web. The RWW team could enter a virgin niche by becoming middle-men between their "academic obscurity" and the masses through posts like this one. My 2 cents. - Aldo Bucchi from FriendFeed MT Plugin

Aldo, thanks, I will personally look into those two things. - Richard from FriendFeed MT Plugin
