They both have the same requirements 1) profiles (emails have signatures), 2) Ability to connect to each other (the act of emailing, and often responding, 3) Do something useful (email users share information, and sometimes collaborate).</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2009/07/09/email-the-first-social-network/"><STRONG>Future of Email and Social Networks Are The Same</STRONG>
<SPAN> In the next few years, email and social networks will look the same –or be the same.  Expect large email vendors like Google (Wave shows promise) Yahoo Mail, Microsoft Live to envelop the social experience.  In fact, Microsoft Live is already showing elements of the activity of your personal network right into the context of email.    Take Facebook’s news stream or Friendfeed, these are starting to represent simlar content from emails –the world’s are merging. </SPAN></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/024D78DF-B4B7-4A0E-B8FD-639CD3A626C2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
