My excuse is that I'm on a 24" monitor and had it {untypically) maximised, so it was way out on the right! I stumbled etc. your post anyway using my own buttons. Your design is interesting and probably excessively tasteful, one's senses get blunted by the gaudy dross prevalent these days... I found the seminar very interesting BTW, especially because it gave me some encouragement to continue with my own site's integration with social media. There are still many people who see social media as a fad - possibly blinded by twitter - but the figures speak for themselves. Best wishes, Tony Whoops!

There is more information on this in this @Gigya Webinar <a href="http://bit.ly/cBtCoZ" rel="nofollow">Social is the next Search, is your site ready?</a> featuring Jeremiah Owyang amongst others. I have social bookmarks and retweeting via the Wibiya toolbar at the bottom of the blog, but if you missed this, maybe others do too ;) Thanks Tony for the comment.

Your point about the trend in the social media towards market consolidation rather than fragmentation seems right to me, and a useful pointer to those of us looking for alternative traffic sources to Google, both in organic search and paid options. I'm actually quite encouraged by the spectacular growth in Facebook and other social media. With the radical changes in Google's approach, including personalised search, local results, maps and video slots, and live inserts, it really does seem that a lot of traditional SEO is losing relevance. Or am I just whistling Dixie? Tony Page BTW No retweet or social media buttons..? This is an interesting post and I’m amazed it hasn’t got more comments.
