The Next Email - Twitter - Jaiku - Pownce
Robert Scoble is the most prolific and influencial blogger in the Tech space today. From his time as the "Microsoft Blogger", Robert has shared interviews on new tech advances, processes and people. He's also a HUGE proponent of Facebook and uses it extensively as a means of communication - he posts videos (exclusive content), links, wall posts and comments each day.
I was on Twitter for a few months before I found Scoble through someone I was "following". Through his Tweets (and blog, Facebook, etc.), I get an insight into Silicon Valley culture and personnel, that as a Silicon Alley girl, I would never have.
In this Fast Company article, Robert discusses the Twitter, Pownce, Jaiku microblogging services and their applications in business. I'm on all three and use them each differently - but Twitter has my heart.

The Future of Communications - “ A Manifesto for Integrating Social Media into Marketing
I was reading PR 2.0 - Silicon Valley (AdAge just named it one of the Power150) and Brian Solissent me this link. He also posted it on his Facebook.
In his manifesto (a must-read!), Brian talks about how all of these social tools are affecting Public Relations as a medium (I'll add Marketing also!) and how conversations are the messaging of today/tomorrow.
I love the line, "Monologue has given way to Dialog".
I'm a big believer in this line of thinking. My experience on Twitter and Facebook has opened me up to a new level of conversation with people who are creating the tools and services enabling this dialogue/messsaging. Brian talks about a new layer of influencers (my examples - Scoble, Winer) who are able to lead people to new tools and services (virally) because of their accessibility and exploitation of these applications.

Interesting one-side conversation from Robert Scoble (Twitter / Scobleizer) on what and how to get his - and many other A-List blogger's attention these days.
In brief, he says that he answers things in the public space first (like Facebook's Wall), rather than email or even direct Tweets (Twitter) or Facebook messages), "Because those communications scale."
I wrote a message to a collegue today exploring that same point, but focusing on text messages - how more people are texting instead of emailing, and that the age group is moving from the teen market into the older demographics (this is an unscientific poll that I ran with 5 friends each age group - 15 to 20 yrs olds, 21 to 27 year olds and 28 to 40 yr olds). More and more people are texting than calling or emailing.
We are an immediate-gratification society. Social ADD.
