Thanks for the comment.

I am convinced social media will be a growing part of our lives: in our personal lives, in our lives as consumers, and finally in our corporate lives too.

What shape this “social media society” will eventually take remains to be seen. At present, there is a multitude of separate networks, more or less built around languages a/o cultural domains. See e.g. statistics published by Vincenzo Cosenza < http://bit.ly/6qdyA7 >.

Open question is if social media will converge to a limited number of huge networks (belonging to the Anglosphere, the Francosphere, or large professional groups), or that the networks will continue to diverge in numbers and become a reflection of a multi-faceted world.

Great article. Not to sound cliche, but social media is indeed the way of the future. Right now it may just seem a tool, but it is slowly seeping more and more into our daily lives, perhaps one day inseperable.
