The one notable exception: a decline in blogging among teens, with only half as many blogging today as did in 2006. Blogging also declined slightly among adults aged 18-33. Wired's Ryan Singel has a great analysis on whether or not we've reached "peak blogging."

The Difference Between Friends, Fans and Followers With every day that passes, brand managers are learning the value of presence in social networks. The extent to which new media permeates a company’s fabric depends on where in the world the company is based, as well as the prevailing culture of its organization.

The future of business is tied to how the 3F’s convert into the 4A’s, action, advisor, affinity, and advocacy, regardless of network.
