As much as I love scores of wonderful sites across the web, most of them are driven by the daily grind of the display/pageview hamster wheel. They create 20, 30, 40 'content snacks' a day, and I miss far more than I consume.

These sites have torn down the geographical divide that once prevented long distance social relationships from forming, allowing instant communication and connections to take place and a virtual second life to take hold for its users.

Sites need to be able to interact in one single, universal space.

Twitter is worth it if you like tweeting. Same is true of Facebook. Or Pinterest. Nothing wrong with having a social presence.

There are lots of new products and new services making adding content easier. But there's not many people on the other side helping users digest that content.

Wildly successful sites such as Flickr, Twitter and Facebook offer genuinely portable social experiences, on and off the desktop. You don't even have to go to Facebook or Twitter to experience Facebook and Twitter content or to share third-party web content with your Twitter and Facebook friends.

I use Facebook all the time. I'm not a believer that they're going to do everything on the Internet better than anyone else.

As far as my favorite sites, I do a lot of mundane stuff on line because I travel so much.

The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.

Sharing is the essence of social media.
