Professional Social Networking Is Growing!
One question I have is how long "social networking" can be a viable business given its steady march into the mainstream. As more and more of our personal and online communications become potentially definable, acquirable, and -- what's really important -- sharable in social networking terms, social-networking-enabled communications will become the norm. When that happens, social networking "features" become commodities and, following basic economics, prices are driven down.

Who Ensures that "Web 2.0" Software Applications Work Together?
Recently fellow blogger Philippe Borremans, owner of Conversationblog, asked me to check out a program he had been using (Qumana, www.qumana.com) to manage his blog. It had stopped working and he asked me, a fellow Squarespace user, to check it out. (Philippe's blog was later selected for the LinkedinBloggers March 22, 2006 "Blog Boost.")
