Efficient tools for communication, collaboration and coordination, this is the most important thing to retain about the new technology. This is also the reason why the future belongs to the multitude. This goes beyond marketing guys. This new technology will affect culture, creation, production, it will revolutionize society, it will make it more democratic and more inclusive. Networks will dethrone centralized organizations based on the command and control paradigm. And the individual HAS a place within a network, is more valued than within a vertical.

I'm seeing about a 30% spambot rate in followers. I think Metcalf's Law is spot on, but doesn't provide a discount for the spammers. Thus, I propose a 30% reduction, which would look as such: n(n-1)/2 * 0.7 May I modify Metcalf's Law when dealing with Twitter? I'm seeing about a 30% spambot rate in followers.

Reminds me of Malcom Gladwell's mavens from The Tipping Point. I am doing a lot of thinking around convincing companies to consider social networking as part of the brand comms policies and being able to demonstrate numbers in this fashion makes a very compelling argument.
