Basically, it opens up certain video away from a block panel display into one that will give the appearance of interactivity. I'm telling you, it's coming. See Joel, it’s coming.

It is not so much changing the applications, rather changing the way we think about the ways in which these applications can be used. Just as the term web 2.0 depicts a change in the philosophy around the Internet rather than an actual ‘thing’, the way in which we think about using social media applications is shifting. The future is bringing social media apps out of the “social networking” domain and applying the principles to the way we manage businesses and institutions. Social media apps are being adapted and applied to connect all elements of institutions. Social media platforms such as socMe are taking social media apps and applying them to businesses to develop multi-dimensional websites. This is based upon a centralized system that extends across platforms and devices taking information to where it is needed rather than being a destination. Combining CMS, LMS and social media applications built in tracking systems, how they integrate and work depends on what you need it to be.

Qik requires proprietary software, and is only supported on certain phones. Seesmic requires bandwidth. Anyone with a cellphone with ANY video capability can participate in 12seconds. It's the only one that approximates the multiple input paths that made Twitter explode.

Myspace, Orkut, and Facebook. Twitter and Plurk. Heck, Friendfeed also probably has the same thing going for it. In my opinion, all of these "social media" site boil down to one of 2 frequency paradigms: 1. Low frequency, high bandwidth communications. - These are those services that you use less frequently, but write or read more per use. Email and Blogs have their roots here. 2. High frequency, low bandwidth communications. - These are those services that you use more frequently, but write and read less per use. Instant Messaging and Forums have their roots here. On top of that, we have the "public" or "private" paradigm. I like to think of Twitter as a completely open and public version of an IM conversation. Same with Blog posts. They're public emails to me. I know there are exceptions to these, but I feel they're mostly correct from what I can see. We're recycling the same ideas and trying to make them different, but in the end we're recycling the same 4 ideas without much difference between them.
