And he starts by wondering whether the whole thing is a crock. What bugs him is that essential elements of social media &#8211; like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace &#8211; are private platforms, not public. Like the early days of Instant Messaging, we have a series of private companies competing for users with different platforms. Computers and what we use them for should be personal &#8211; and these new social media tools are proprietary. They need to evolve, as has email, blogging, instant messaging.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/MarkEvans\/~3\/hXh6IEVLMd0\/\">Nine Things Social Media Can Do<\/a><\/strong><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.markevanstech.com\/\">Mark Evans<\/a> has a list of ways that Social Media can work for business.
