But one news said that employers are now more active in detecting the activities of their employees. One of this is checking out the updates of employees in Facebook. We know that it is easy to determine our workers who use their working times browsing popular social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Seems that everyone in the office is using Facebook.

I'm excited for the launch of Google Wave. I think it may solve the "OMG Mom is tweeting me" problem. Love it!

I don't think that will peak and decline, it isn't so much that people are interested in it because it's a novel idea as much as...well it's just a powerful tool that is useful to anyone.

Look at computers: IBM at the top many years, slid down...grabbed by MS...MS peaked...slid down... May we say similar of GoOgle? Someday Twitter? They'll slide back down to the "real-world" level of usage/interest they deserve after the initial peak of novelty and interest due to unfamiliarity.
