Already, however, it’s gaining momentum among “Digg refugees&# and folks who don’t feel comfortable on other social networks. Earlier this month, I wrote a blog post about how you cannot be a participant of a community without understanding the community members therein. So far, it sure is. See the surge?

Digg is now part of social media and will be explained in the final chart. I may have met these individuals by chance (long-standing relationship) or through the blogosphere or forums.

Social media connections are those I know through a variety of online forums, the blogosphere, Twitter, and the like (but I generally don’t befriend someone immediately; I still give it time).

Every time I tell someone I’m a Community Manager , I get a varied response. &# That last one might be the most honest of the three, since asking a Community Manager whether they tweet for a living is like asking a construction worker if they cat-call for a living, or a doctor if he asks people to say “ah!&# for a living.
