The Real World Still Exists
This is a follow up to my previous post;
A variety of new Twitter features have made it even easier to find people in your neighborhood, city or region. Twitter lists allows you to create a group of people in a similar niche, or geographical area. Now with geotagged tweets that process is automated.
The release of Foursquare to a bunch of new cities takes interacting on online spaces and connects it with offline.
Social networks are realizing that online tools serve one purpose – to make connecting offline easier.
We are starting to really see Jeff Jarvis’ ideas of hyper-local come to fruition (he focuses on the news industry, but I think there are ramifications beyond that).
But still a lot of people are just realizing that you can no longer hide behind the Internet.
The word ’social’ is in social media for a reason.
