The internet and technology ownership has changed everything: digital TV, mobile phones, iPods, weblogs, instant messaging, [and] social networking. Everything is multi: multi-screens, multi-channeled, multi-conversations, and multitasking. Previously, to have a mobile phone, you needed a large bank account. It scares me.

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.

thanks, Kathy [link] jaybaer Although it's my usual practice, I'm not going to reply to each comment, since this isn't a very conversational blog post.

Companies are starting to think of Facebook as a natural piece of the conversion funnel, not just as a free-standing silo. Because once everyone is on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, we'll have to start talking about storytelling, because the tools conversation won't have any facets left. Just like websites.
