Sorry! @Bryan - agree -- things are still shaking out and developing... thanks for your comment! @Randy - see post below - I have a graphic for the new categorization @Carolyn - sorry I didn't get notification of this comment until just now! I did a follow up post on this on my blog, where I broke things down a little differently. http://livepath.blogspot.com/2010/01/categorizing-social-media-web-20-and.html @Parker -- To be completely honest, originally, the research was for an online directory of categorized social media sites, apps and tools... especially because I had a list of 3,000 that I'd created myself. But I have a life, and a business to run, and I never mobilized to complete the task. So, basically - it's free for others to use and collaborate on --- and today, I use this for teaching and consulting purposes. Does that satiate your curiosity!? ;-) Best, Leigh Hi guys – I wasn’t getting notified of comments on the migrated Mprofs site until just now. Sorry!

What are you going to do with the information? Surely you had a reason for what was obviously a tremendous outlay of time and effort, seriously, I'm curious. Very impressive list.

Have you expanded your overview since this was written, or are you planning on updating anytime soon? (I'm asking that in a hopeful tone, lol). It helps me get a handle on all the options there are when we can chunk them into the major categories like this. I'm also curious if you keep your profiles active on many sites, whether you grab your favorite username(s) on a site as soon as it opens, and your other social media practices. I have been loving social media since I got started in it just a year or two ago, and I'm curious what other folks do. I find it easy to overcommit or get overwhelmed, so I tend to wax and wane. I'm also helping to organize a social media camp for March 7 in Memphis for both newbs & experienced users, and I'm doing some noodling around online to figure out the social media spectrum -- both for the program and for my own use. Just fyi, if that sounds interesting -- watch for us on Twitter with the hashtag #socialmem. I'd love to hear your feedback on any of our chatter. (I'm "cbahm" on Twitter too.)

Very helpful. I'm actually presenting a workshop this week trying to explain social media tools to a group that is just getting their feet wet - it's good to have a way to present to them that ca provide them a visual of where certain things fit.

I think, however, that as this space continues to develop, the ability to characterize sites into a specific group will become more difficult. And, rather than Brian's diagram, I think it will be much closer to a venn diagram with significant overlap into other categories and cross-pollination. In any case, these categories are as good as anything out there - thank you for a job well done! Interesting list.

Because a lot of these were broken out by format, I consolidated pretty heavily. I do agree that we'll see consolidation in this market: It's like any other medium of communication. In my observation, the pattern seems to be as follows: proliferation clustering acquisition / fallout leaders emerge Best, Leigh Hey BJ,
