It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for everyone to realize you still need good communication skills, regardless of the shiny new toys... or whether they'll realize it at all. After all, most people who practice it still don't know what "PR" is...! Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it! I think the “specialization” has already started, though, don’t you?

I came here expecting serious conversation and was delighted to discover this entertaining post :) My add: You must be able to alienate people outside the fishbowl within 30 seconds. For example: "Don't you just love Posterous? You don't know it? Heh. Well, gotta run. I'm headed to a tweet-up to live tweet a crowdsource for new OpenAPI mashups. Better check in on Foursquare first. Look! I'm the mayor of Dunkin' Donuts! I'm gonna cross-post that everywhere! Ping you later." You got me!
