Filed Under Blogging, News, Social Media and Social Networking Sites
Business Week in their June 2, 2008 cover story, Beyond Blogs, confessed that three years earlier when they wrote, Blogs Will Change Your Business, they completely missed the larger Web 2.0 social media trend that was emerging.

Social Media Sites
YouTube, a site where regular people post their videos, has challenged the dominance of television in the entertainment and news industries.

Twitter, a micro-blogging site, lets people and businesses communicate in 140-character chunks called “tweets”.

Time’s 2006 Person of the Year
