The social networking Buzz
I wonder, is all the Buzz around social networking justified? Besides tageting the consumer market, would it really provide business value? .. would having a direct integration with, lets say, CRM, with a social network (e.g. Facebook) provide real value for businesses?
And... what about all the "applications" spouring everywhere:
-Peter parker sent you a hot potatoe,
-You have 3 movie compatibility tests
-Please answer Batman's questions
Can real value be effectivelly extracted from all this clutter?...perhaps

It is interesting to see the trends as they form, right in front of us. I have a blog that covers news, politics, and pop culture. However it has been more of a communication experiment about social networking. I have set up audio, video, with viral activity on YouTube. Only now are PR and marketing companies understanding the importance of the internet. The underground SEO experts are combining forces with traditional marketing and PR firms. Politics and media news coverage is being transformed, as the print and online world change in market balance. The internet and viral video are making dramatic changes in government and politics. Social Networking and technology are forming new changes in human behavior, with the rise of chat room forums and live talk.Anonymous

Hi Humberto, I agree there's a lot of buzz around social networking and we still have to see the real value of that. However, it's not only "social" networking. There's also sites like LinkedIn and Plaxo that might be of value for businesses. I've made a similar post about this: http://www.cwrmobility.nl/weblog/2007/11/crm-live-and-opensocial.htmlAnonymous

Yeap... LinkedIn seems a lot more suited for business that Facebook at this point.
