Good to read you - thanks for posting! Grin - I do like to leverage Google - glad to hear that it's working! Yes, I think that we're going to see an evolution of things like Facebook and Twitter into things involving Search (with a capital "S" meaning they will become search engines themselves, or, a part of a search engine). Facebook, for example, would like to redefine Search into it being, like, you ask a question to your friends, and they respond with an authoritative answer instead of, say, a Google or a Bing!. If you foresee the use of "6-degrees" as a tool to find like-minded preferences and solutions, then Facebook has voiced an interest in being that tool. That would give them survivability... We'll see though. It's always tough to be prognosticating the end of stuff that seems to be working well at the moment (grin). Right now, it's just lookin' too much like 1999 to me (grin)...

Grin – I do like to leverage Google – glad to hear that it’s working!

We’ll see though. It’s always tough to be prognosticating the end of stuff that seems to be working well at the moment (grin). Right now, it’s just lookin’ too much like 1999 to me (grin)…

It is entirely possible any and all that you mention, will happen to us. I just wonder what it will do to those so connected to the various forms of social media sites. We are all probably wondering when the bubble will burst and I'm hoping that it doesn't happen too soon, because I do have quite a few favorite videos archived at YouTube! LOL Anyway, Russell, it was a great read-through and very thought provoking. I didn't see it when it was first published, but it did get indexed in Google under "social media consultant vancouver wa" and it popped up at #9 on the front page. Kudos to you for listing so high for a long tail keyword phrase! :-) Well, I think I'll go and think about what you wrote and see if my social media teaching/consulting will stand the test of time or be reliant upon what happens to these sites. (After all, I teach about the "concepts" of social networking; it doesn't matter "what" the sites are, just that there is a certain thought process and paradigm that is used to reach people.) I'm sure in two years, the tools will be different. But it comes down to the simple things: we still need to connect and communicate. It's not there to replace communications... Take care and see you soon! Ed Bisquera Follow me on <a href="http://twitter.com/edbisquera" rel="nofollow">Twitter @edbisquera</a> Russell,
