What will be exciting is when the tools and services that people are using primarily for fun start to bleed into work applications. How much time do people spend on Facebook, Digg, IM, StumbleUpon, ... ? How much do people dread using corporate CRM systems, groupware, etc.? There's a lesson to be learned by the enterprise application developers about how to build apps that engage people. After all, as Justin notes, we ARE social animals. Build us the right apps that let us interact and we will WANT to use them. Joe.

I remember being amazed when I read the <a href="http://www.pepysdiary.com/" title="Diary of Samuel Pepys" rel="nofollow"> at the way he'd flow between work and his personal activities during the day - in 1660. I think it is great that technology is starting to support this social interaction regardless of context. After all, we are a social animal. Hi Joe,
