He is SorenG on Twitter. The conversation about social media in our society is shifting significantly. We're no longer asking questions like, “Will people use social media?” or “Are sites like Facebook and Twitter simply trends that will soon lose steam?” After billions of tweets and 600 million people on Facebook, it’s settled: People want to share online. The emerging conversation is not if we will be connected but is instead, “How can we effectively and productively connect?” New paradigms are beginning to emerge as user habits shift toward greater relevancy. 1.
