well……that just seems like a place for kids and even though Facebook seems to be replacing MySpace for youth conversations, it brings out the kid in me while accomplishing the networking part at the same time.

In the past few weeks, however, even Digg’s other top users are seeing that Digg is becoming more difficult of a social news site to enjoy, and after stepping away from Digg for awhile, I have some thoughts and reflections on how it was and possibly how it should be. In fact, most of them had already left.

Anyone can visit online meeting places like Digg and Reddit and promote the voices and opinions of others, and anyone can mobilize a group of people around a common cause on Facebook or elsewhere. And that’s the key differentiator of social media: we, the consumers, can have one loud voice, that companies and other people listen to.

The scope of marketing needs to be broadened in view of the new dynamics that have employees, customers and prospects engaged in conversations – horizontally, peer to peer, in some cases even in co-opetition situations. Some communities are very open to marketers being there and contributing to the conversation.

These are friends who have no direct ties to the industry, but in using social networks, we’ve formed close bonds and friendships.

It’s not enough to be insular and focus on your groups of friends. You may find people who are surfing outside your social circle who might be potentially interested in your products. At business networking events, try to get to know people outside your group of trusted colleagues. You never know who you might meet.

Groups : Facebook Groups still exist, but I wouldn’t encourage using them unless you’re looking to maintain a fully closed and private community in the confines of the service.
