And I share paisley's comment about the fact that these new so called "social media" tools are just refinements of existing ones such as IRC, instant messaging, news groups, and other boards. They are just easier to use, faster and more pervasive. Just not yet enough for my parents to use them ;-) Great post again!

And this is why I enjoy the Web now. I remember when it was new, simply browsing around, lookin' for somethin', anything interesting. Now, I can't wait to hear from the people I've come to know through those connections we've created. You're right; it's all about the connections with folks that give the Web the zip it needed!

Brings back two (good) memories. During the boom, on Sept 29, 2000 at a big Nortel "What do you want the internet to be" event I was touched by the presentation from Dr. Sylvia Earle ( an Explorer-in-Residence at National Geographic). Her key message: "With knowing comes caring" (her passion is the oceans ... "and with caring there is hope that an ocean ethic will arise that will secure a sustainable future for ourselves and for the seas.") Every day I hope that this heightened awareness will lead to us all caring more and making better decisions. The other memory is from back in the early days of long haul fiber equipment development, where some of the evangelists spearheading the project talked about the "death of distance". Sounded kinda weird back then but it's certainly become true in many, many ways. Social Media seems to be to be the blossoming of these aspirations. I sure hope so! cheers, Andrew Sue,

We are finally using the web the way it was intended and yet, it feels like we're at the tip of the iceberg. The trick will now be to figure out how to actually improve the planet we live on through the web. Solve big problems. That is what I'm really excited about.

But you are totally, totally right and I can personally attest to that fact because I've been there and exerienced exactly what you describe: when social networks crumble, we find a way to re-create and re-assemble. I've been using social media for almost 12 years now and have had to do just that a number of times--in my case, with a group of moms I "met" online in 1997 and have stayed in almost daily contact with since then. We could write the book about picking up the pieces when your social network vanishes! Anyway, I'll write a post about the details...all I know is that the social web has been a daily part of my life for over 11 years and I don't know what I'd do without it!

Fantastic insights and yes, I'm sure we'd all figure a new way out somehow - but just in case, I'm backing up my blog to an external hard drive! ;-) What a fantastic way to start a Monday, Suze – obviously that shiny new Alltop badge has inspired you! ;-)
