While the merits of this particular implementation of Facebook-fueled connectivity can be debated, it’s a good example of the increasing frequency and intensity of “friend&# involvement we’re going to see in the next 12-18 months.

I don’t share the exact same stuff on Twitter that I do on Facebook, for example.

Thanks for the great comment.
