Clearly, Social Media can be a very useful tool in boosting your business. It would be interesting to see this "vertical evolution" of social media sites and what it can do to/for businesses (and even individual users). In the meantime, it you have your business on a social networking site or if you're still considering it, you should check out "To Block or Not. Is that the question?” here: <a href="http://bit.ly/d2NZRp" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/d2NZRp</a> and know the issues surrounding social media in the workplace. Great post!

Industry groups seem to be doing a pretty good job of carving out their place within LinkedIn, Facebook, etc so this is a good next step.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Ryan H., <a href="http://www.RyanHanley.com" rel="nofollow">www.RyanHanley.com</a> I'm still more interested in seeing greater ways to localize SM.

While I don't think we'll see people leaving major networks like Facebook and Twitter, I think niche networks that tailor to people interested in specific verticals.

You particularly hit the nail on the head when you mention real estate professionals pushing for vertical networks– the company I work for, DevelopmentNow, builds these sorts of niche networks and you would not believe how many inquiries we have received from that market recently!

As always, excited for the opportunities in store with social media!

With all the communities now forming online through social networks we will soon need to start thinking of how we manage those communities. Many people sitting on thousands of twitter followers and hundreds of facebook friends will soon be looking at ways to better communicate and interact with them.<br><br><a href="http://www.schoolofdigitalmarketing.com" rel="nofollow">www.schoolofdigitalmarketing.com</a> Interesting post.
