: Great article providing a bird's eye view of the social media landscape, its tremendous impact on the private and business sphere and most important of all pointers about how to prepare ourselves to harness maximum benefit from this inevitable trend on a personal and business level. For me the subtle but vital takeaway is the fact that the success of social media optimization resides not in re-inventing the wheel but to use to establish quality private networks for personal and business benefit . Syndication as a form of business and social organization, whether in the form of old boys clubs, Rotary Clubs, professional guilts etc has always existed and will continue to exist. What has changed is the blurring of the lines between the business and personal on the one hand and the scale and global reach of the phenomenon on the other hand. This is due to power and miniaturization of processors of the reduction in the cost of communication technology in our digital society. The relatively modest cost of organizing such virtual private social networks as evident from the thousands of twitter and identi.ca clones attest to this fact. Richard Branson and Virgin are demonstrating with their Virgin FaceBook Application beta launch the direction in which businesses will integrate and deploy these social media optimization in the business sphere

: This paragraph below seemed to catch my attention … Yes Business and life are becoming as one … simply because in today’s society no one seems to have time for there next door neighbors yet alone seeking out new friends and long time acquaintances so because of this we all seem to be making our work and our computers to seek out our new found friends these days we need to think more on how we trade or time as each day begins and as always how it ends …

”At SocialMediaScience.com this is supported by mountains of evidence. Here is how it’s taking place… As more and more people use social media tools and systems to communicate, plan, and enhance both their business and life, the more we are seeing this “social process” transform both the formal business networks and the informal social relationships that are attached to them.”
