An overview article Look back on 2009 includes "Social Networks go Mainstream" where Computerworld announces that Facebook and Twitter are equal opportunity communications tools for all ages and even mainstream corporations. Grandparents are joining high school and college students to use Twitter and Facebook for their own purposes. "While it's been a bit embarrassing for the kids involved to have their Uncle Fred befriend them on Facebook, the broader audience has been a boon to social networking companies." Computerworld goes on to say that Facebook and Twitter seem to have enough revenue to provide a longer term platform for communicating with the world.
Can Government commnications be 2.0 far behind? Apparently not. Governing.com has been covering the adoption of social tools in government for some time. Delicious has a huge bookmark cluster for Government 2.0.
And for automobilisti, please no internal combustion flame wars. Oldsmobile was a great car company, it just got GeeEmd, and died before GM 2.0 arrived.
