Good to have you back! When the rest of the world "gets it" with sites like twitter and friendfeed, early adopters will be long gone. They will be on the next big thing, with only some presence remaining. What if the rest of the world does not "get it"? Well, some of the sites will disappear, others will continue to get good traffic, just not make me millions type of traffic. Such is the world of the web.

Glad to read you here, too. Thanks for the heads up on Sal. Type A mom, I love that. Who knows whether social media is this or that. Don't get me wrong, I love reading your ponderings, hence my comment. But, it draws me and yes it is personal and no maybe not rational but neither are free markets. Those don't seem to be working because, well, human beings run the world, at least the human world and here we are chatting it up and we have never met but if we do meet well, we'll feel like we HAD met. THAT is interesting....
To your point about Twitter, I organized a bunch of folks to go to a NY Philhamonic concert in Central Park last night. In my Evite I said that I would Twitter folks that followed me to tell them where we had planted ourselves in the Park (rather than sending a mass email because I didn't have everyone's email address on my blackberry). This was a group of smart and dynamic people from 25-50 years of age from all walks of life - investment bankers to artists to Fortune 100 execs to non-profit folks. Not a single person knew about Twitter - they all asked "What is Twitter?" Was a good reality check that a lot of this stuff isn't permeating real life.

Colin, I agree the leap to full social media participation is not a given and that is a huge factor in the equation. Great post, as usual!

You have an interesting point of view. Yes it's true that we benefit from having a sense of ownership and inclusion and are more likely to remain loyal both as employess and customers if we feel we are valued. Great post! -M from Mexico

Sounds like a great idea, but I am a little spooked by the forums — which aren’t very busy, but seem to highlight problems with getting paid (through the domystuff escrow system), and employers having difficulty with accountability by assistants. Very little in the way of response from management. Not a good sign.
The “free for both parties” aspect of it might explain a lot.
