Part of the challenge of this is that I think many people view social media a bit like the HD/Blue-Ray or VHS/Beta wars - everyone's waiting to see who will 'win' the social media race and then they'll jump on the bandwagon. The problem with that thinking is that it isn't one piece of hardware that's going to win, it isn't one 3rd party application, it isn't one website - they are ALL going to enhance and influence each other until new social media tools are developed that we can scarcely imagine today. Just look at how Twitter has forced Facebook to innovate! Thanks again for the post and now you've got me brainstorming and thinking - time to go write my own blog about this!!! Michael John,
