Conversation Tools
Borrowing from the categories on Brian Solis’ Conversation Prism, these are the common “categories” you’ll find in social media along with some examples of applications. Please feel free to make suggestions in the comments & I’ll update this list accordingly. You can also find a delightfully overwhelming list of Web 2.0 applications at Go2Web20.net.
