News dissemination is only one aspect. I consider social networks to have (a minimum of) 4.
- Meet. Collecting names and building the social graph
- Message. Communicate one to one.
- Discuss. Group few to few discussions about a niche topic.
- Publish. One to Many authoring.
Against all these are other orthogonal facets such as timeliness, structure and depth. But they do provide a touchstone to better understand where a particular Social system fits.

Underscoring your point about the SPEED of news dissemination through social networks: Guy not only created the Truemors news network because of that, it is how I was able to persuade him to try Twitter in the first place. Using Terraminds search I pulled specific examples of rumors and news breaking hours and days ahead on Twitter. That caught his eye and his ear, and for that reason he gave Twitter and my ideas about it a shot.

The word of mouth credibility and speed (yet again last night with Evel Knievel’s passing) of information flow on SocNets is HUGE. We need to be creative applying that. There will be whole different categories of ways of knowing, sharing & finding out information in the future that we can only just imagine today.

One last snippet — “news” flow from non-credible sources will accelerate too. Look at what email did for the crap chain letter, and magnify that by the power of connected information-sharing. Potentially, ick.

Everyone: think, in the future who will be the trusted “editors” (by that I mean gatekeepers, arbiters) among your personal news sources? Who you believe may possibly come to matter more than what you believe.

I finally understand what Truemors is about. Why was it not called Tremors? Still a bit foggy.

I’m fairly new to the non-personal ways of social networking so it’s always interesting to learn how these links are helping us with our lives. Information management, actually. I also agree that when tweaked correctly, social networking members won’t have to deal with so much unwanted information.
