(2011-07-20) Spivack Social Media Landscape

Nova Spivack thinks the various Social Media/Social Networking sites are not in direct competition, but rather are complementary pieces of a social EcoSystem. FaceBook is for social networking... LinkedIn is for business networking... Google Plus is for knowledge networking... Twitter is for notifications.

(More here on the Google Plus framing. What happens when Google connects the power of their search engine and their massive compute capabilities with Google+? Both Google+ and Google search will become smarter. This is the Holy Grail of Social Search that we’ve all been talking about for years.)
