Our session, scheduled as the conference's final panel discussion, is titled, "Recruiting and Social Media...Interactive dialogue with the experts." This probably should be re-named, "The Business of Social Media: What's Worked vs. What Hasn't and Why." But we digress.
The only real clear takeaway is the widespread use of Linked In, the networking tool that a majority of business people over 30 and under 50 now use.
If Linked In represents social media's first generation, then blogs and micro blogs, such as Twitter, represent the second generation. Of course, that assumes blogs don't blow up based on the backlash being created in the presidential race and micro blogs such as Twitter don't find the dot.com ditch.
It's still not clear yet who will shape a third or next generation. Here's hoping other panelists and audience members can offer up an answer.
