Innovation can come from unlikely places, especially when people connect and come together. I don't think social is just about where the money is, I think it can be powerful force in the way we live our lives and also a source for future innovation. I'm not just talking about Facebook, but tools that bring the world a lot closer together.
I wonder if people criticized the telephone as much when people instead of "working" spent time chatting on the phone with their friends. Sure there will be people who waste time doing that, but I think in broader terms, it will help open up communication channels, enable new collaborations, allow a free exchange of ideas, and also lead to more innovation. It's just hard to see where things are going, but I would bet that they are headed in a positive direction.
