The future of social relations

http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2010/The-future-of-social-relations.aspx Overview The social benefits of internet use will far outweigh the negatives over the next decade, according to experts who responded to a survey about the future of the internet. They say this is because email, social networks, and other online tools offer ‘low-friction’ opportunities to create, enhance, and rediscover social ties that make a difference in people’s lives. The internet lowers traditional communications constraints of cost, geography, and time; and it supports the type of open information sharing that brings people together.

As far as Travis Katz is concerned, it is impossible to name the single best hotel in Cabo San Lucas or the absolute tastiest cheesesteak in Philadelphia. It's not that Katz, founder and CEO of travel recommendations site Gogobot, has doubts about the quality of these products.

Web 3.0: The 'Social Wave' and How It Disrupts the Internet

If my grandchildren ever ask me where I was when I realised the internet was over – they won't, of course, because they'll be too busy playing with the teleportation console – I'll be able to be quite specific: I was in a Mexican restaurant opposite a cemetery in Austin, Texas, halfway through eating a taco. It was the end of day two of South by Southwest Interactive, the world's highest-profile gathering of geeks and the venture capitalists who love them, and I'd been pursuing a policy of asking those I met, perhaps a little too aggressively, what it was exactly that they did.

The State of the Blogosphere 2010 Brian Solis

http://www.briansolis.com/2010/12/the-state-of-the-blogosphere-2010/ The question we ask ourselves when examining the state of the blogosphere is whether or not the cup is half full or half empty?
