I'm really loving your site. Lynne thanks for your post. Some really good information and insight. However, I don't think social media will "go bye, bye." It will evolve into something else.

In both instances, you have the ability to create presence -- I think you can even do this in MyBlogLog. It's kind of like chronicling your life all in one place. Do we really want that much transparency? Do we care about privacy? Eventually the bottom is going to fall out of all this mess. A lot of these social media tools are going to go bye bye, because they are really not allowing people to be social at all. I see more benefits in a lot of these tools for marketing purposes than I do for creating any real community. And I think you're right about real communities thriving. Ning enables you to create real communities. And so does <a href="http://www.collectivex.com/" rel="nofollow">CollectiveX</a> and <a href="http://crowdvine.com" rel="nofollow">Crowdvine</a>.
