It reminds me of the web back in 1997 .. the valuations, the interest in the space, investors that express a lot of interest in the space. It's still the wild west. I don't think anyone really knows what's next.
Facebook is the next generation of where the new consumer, the younger generation is. Also I see it as a rapidly developing market for the older generation.
(Facebook)Opportunities are very compelling from a marketing perspective: event postings, developing priority applications to distribute content and information.
Most of My Space pages are similar to website pages in 1998. Like having a flaming logo on a page.

For Josh, Julie and Chris .. it's about people, it's a strategy and it's sharing ideas.

The Back-story -- It's a dilemma. How does an organization keep employees up-to-date on changes occurring not day-by-day or minute-by-minute but nano second-by- nano second? Sending thousands of people to conferences takes more than a few $dollars. Dedicating people to read Tweets might be an idea; but then there is the challenge of distributing the information. Some companies are exploring internal conferences where they bring experts in-house.
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to be part of Marketing On The Edge, an innovative internal 2-day event, sponsored by Cox Enterprises. (Thanks to Lee Blankenship) Heather Bryson deserves a toss of a
