I too have a couple of boys playing, thanks for the post. Maybe the NHL is reacting to their fan base when joining social media? Best regards-Patrick Hi Mark,

Fragmentation is part of the social web, smaller and smaller groups. This is why I believe there should be great merit and "google juice" perhaps a commenters index and influence.

That doesn’t mean I’m not trying to counter the trend in my own way. To help bring the discussion back to the forum, I post my comments in the forum first and then decide whether I also want to post them on the blog. And, when I post something from my blog, I try to include the text from my blog in the discussion so visiting my blog is optional. That “etiquette” made sense to me, but maybe you and I are being too sensitive. I do have one issue with a change that LinkedIn made. (probably to counter the above issue) If you click the link to the blog, it now opens the blog inside a LinkedIn page. The url is now a LinkedIn discussion group url so it makes it harder to Tweet the post. I beg fellow-bloggers to help me help you. Put a “Tweet This” or some similar button on your blog so I can respond in LinkedIn and help spread the word. Congrats on your new job too, Mark. All the best! Melissa Mark,

I was beginning to think I was the only person in the world who sees social media as exciting new marketing/communication channels and not as replacements for everything that has come before. Yes, the technology is breathtaking as are the opportunities it provides. But just like radio did not replace television, social media won't replace the telephone or email or letters or talking to someone face to face. It's not a whole new world. It’s the old world made better. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
