I think you are missing something here. Put aside the that Twitter could have, should have or will do this. There is a clear need for better corp communications. This was the whole promise of Wiki's like jotspot and Socialtext. HR/corp communications will be clambering over themselves to sign up. Knowledge retention, better communications, and more social integrated organization. Also they actually have a revenue model. I think this can be bigger than Salesforce.

I'm not a frequent reader of Mashable, but maybe now I will be.. The article is well written and thought through comments.

My 2cents, clearly the newspaper industry is in a downward spiral, the question is how low will the current business model go and what will they do to offset that loss.

That's why I believe Hearst's CEO Ganzi left. The board wanted a bold move like Murdoch's for MySpace as opposed to smaller deals that Hearst were doing like Kaboddle.

If they can use their cash, their user base and brand and migrate it into new models of content distribution they will survive.

As for the physical newspaper surviving it will for many generations, it's hard to change human behaviour.

Louis, sort of a contradiction, you start off with there is no data overload and then advice on how you handle data overload.
