POPSThe Future of Social Networking is...Email?!
I've been thinking about this very idea recently and then came across this article from @jeremiah. I was mostly coming at it from a product and user experience perspective. It seemed that a some of the 3rd party services based on Twitter (and Twitter too) have been coming full circle and deploying email-like strategies for both functionality (routing, groups, etc.) as well as the presentation layer (check out seesmic's list view on the web). Think also about how important email is to Twitter and facebook's user experience: where would they be without "now following" or "comment" emails?

POPSFacebook to open-source platform This is an exciting time as the web 2.0 companies jostle not only with each other, but with the big three: Yahoo!, Google, and Microsoft.
