The average person feels daunted by its' greatness (I speak here, as the 'average person' that I am). I feel that connecting with familiar and new friends and business contacts is part of my daily routine now - as I 'feed' the desire in myself to make contact with others. The way that I choose to make such contacts is dependent on the medium at my disposal, and usually that which is most convenient and is the way to go. As part of building any network (business or otherwise) the individual needs to consider their own needs and their audience, I would imagine. Have something you need to bounce off of someone - who do you turn to? Those with like interests. Your social network. Why should the technical aspect interfere?

Those with like interests. Your social network.

I was thinking of the same thing recently, looking at companies trying to define Web 3.0 and sell it to people who didn't even know there was a version named 1.0... I think the main point is that in order to be used, anything, including "social media" in general, needs to solve someone's issue. If your contractor is always looking for new an innovative ways to reach potential customers and he knows other contractors are not doing this, then he has a solution to one of his problems, and the cost of it is just to write a post (or a couple of posts). I think we should always look at things that way (what is the problem -> how to solve the problem) instead of building a solution and then try to think who might have some problems that this solution fixes :-) Right now, I agree with you on the fact that "social media" is a pretty active yet small community in the global market. It needs to mature from a research field to finding the real problems to solve! Great post, lots of good point.
