We can spend a lot of time at these social sites and not be very efficient but if we evaluate where we can be most effective is where we should spend our time!

As huge as it is Facebook is only a fragment of the entire social media eco-system and Friendfeed is still an early adopter base. The amount of political commentary on Twitter alone is mind-boggling. You really need to monitor it all to get a real picture and then you need the tools (sentiment, demographics, authority, etc.) to parse the results. We offer a free service that does this.

We're seeing a lot of interest in reputation management for example. The phrase 'reputation management' as a search keyword had 8100 Google searches in the year ending June 1. However for the month of June following there were 4000 searches on that phrase! This is how rapidly the landscape is changing.

What matters more is that your technology has a community backing it." I think this is the key here. I have two groups of people that I communicate with online and engage in the discovery phase with: tech people and young political activists. For the tech people Friendfeed is great for discovery and communication, but only a handful of the political group use it. For them, Facebook becomes the discovery tool through wall posts, shared links, and posted items. “Even though it helps, it doesn’t really matter if your technology is the most efficient.
