As the Web gets increasingly "local" it's really going to change the dynamic of best practices in business. Wonder which university will offer a degree or masters first? How will it get into curriculum? Thanks for posting! Hey Neal, very interesting! As the Web gets increasingly “local” it’s really going to change the dynamic of best practices in business.

Because of this, every role that exists in the human world, plus new one's specific to the medium, will come to have a counterpart in the virtual world. Social media is simply the plenum or realm in which this new reality exists, and just as people and businesses succeed or fail based on their ability to maximize their influence in the physical world, so they will have to do so in the virtual world. I assert that no successful business or individual will be able to exist completely offline very soon, and that social media will become increasingly important as those people and businesses have to cope with that. "Groundswell", a great book on social media by Charlene Li, Josh Bernoff, addresses exactly this...institutions are threatened by social media unless they utilize it. As they need to utilize it, the need to hire people to do so. And that is where we come in :). Thanks for the great post!
