We're ... both? :) - Tamar Weinberg

Agree with Tamar. A little bit of both really. - Howard O'Berry

I would like to see A-list bloggers like Michale Arrington, Darren from Problogger, Maki from DoshDosh, Andy Beard and others to talk about the Internet, Blogging, Social Media in an open forum! So I invite them to this room to talk in a Senate that Mu created for us! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Michael Arrington has said he won't use Friendfeed until they include a "block" feature. Don't know about the rest of them. - Mark Trapp

I think this is one of the best forums I've seen to discuss social media. It's so centralized and it has a nice and easy comment system. Needless to say, it could be even better if people could find this room more easily :]. - Ethan Klapper

If Arrington wants to block someone he is not welcome! This is an open forum not a closed forum! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Unfortunately I have been disappointed in the number of people who tout the "amazing community building aspects" of social media in very unsociable ways. Have shifted the majority of my focus to FriendFeed because I was getting tired of all the 'experts' on Twitter who had no interest in actually engaging anyone - they just wanted to stand on top of their proverbial mountaintop and share their amazing knowledge and insights with "the masses" - ugh - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

We as Bloggers and innovators need to join together and be a guiding light for the whole Blogging community, not say, "This is my Follower, He is my Follower!" - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

@Marco -- and FriendFeed doesn't go down like Twitter! - Ethan Klapper

Bloggers Unite for a common cause to help each other become strong advocates of whatever our cause may be! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

lol I didn't want to state the obvious. - Marco(aureliusmaximus)

Together we strong divided we fall! If we compete with each other for followers we are just "noise" and the mass media wins and we lose! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Yes, we still need social skills for social media to work. Play nice everyone! - Ethan Klapper

Here, like Pownce, we seem to be social. SM is all about communication and back and forth. That seems to succeed enormously here while elsewhere you see folks cross-posting to Twitter/Pownce/Jaiku, etc. without ever interacting with their readers. - Heidi Cool

We need to interact with the readers to educate each other! Social Blogging is not about from the Top down, but across all social divides! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

It depends on the space and the individual. Some people are more social in certain communities (including real life) while some aren't. - Shey

We are social ... but somebody likes filters... - funkyboy from Posty

Friend Feed allows us to be Social in Social Media! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק

Why do people think socializing has to be face-to-face? - Shelly Weiss

Social! - Sarah Perez
