My Comments:

As the web evolves, we’re seeing more and more news about social media in the mainstream media (most of it old and outdated), but it’s there none-the-less. Today was a particularly good day for the key sources of social media news, and generally I’d just Digg and or StumbleUpon (feel free to add me), but though I might share today.

No one really knows where this is all going to end up, or how successful it’s ever going to be.
