There is a battle for the future of the Web, and it is not about search engines, but about the social Web.

Social Networking is overtaking
many other forms of online
communication - email, instant
messaging, and even web sites!
At the same time social
networking sites are
proliferating at a rapid
rate!
Facebook has more than
half a billion active users - 
far more than there are 
people in the United States!
Twitter is growing at a 
rate of 300,000 new users
each day!  It has yet to make 
money.  But, it has become 
the "pulse" of the world!
LinkedIn is an important, consulting employment,  and advancement site !

Different people choose 
to use different social
networks.  Not everyone
is on Facebook, Twitter, 
LinkedIn, blogs and 
wikis.
Wikis and blogs are 
also forms of social 
networks - enabling 
engagement and inter-
action among readers -
they are especially important in education.
If you are trying to get
an important message out
or to build a presence - you 
need to more than just put
up a web page now.  You 
must social network.
So, how do we find a way
to interlock these social
networks to assure that 
our messages are relayed 
to as many reader/viewers
as possible?
