Ben Parr on What the Web of Tomorrow Will Look Like

Interesting article from Mashable Co-Editor Ben Parr: What the Web of Tomorrow Will Look Like: 4 Big Trends to Watch.

In the article, Parr discusses four major shifts in how people will be using the Web in the near future (and in some cases, already are):

1. The Web Will Be Accessible Anywhere
2. Web Access Will Not Focus Around the Computer
3. The Web Will Be Media-Centric
4. Social Media Will Be Its Largest Component

That last one is why I started this blog - to explore why people use social media, and the different ways they make use of the tools, sites, and techniques.  I'm looking forward to the conversation.

The Beginning of The Social Report

Welcome to The Social Report, a blog that will feature profile-type articles on how people use social media, both personally and professionally.  We'll be exploring topics like branding, marketing, "going viral", the history and future of social media, productivity, networking, what works (and what doesn't).

I've put together a list of about 30 people I'd like to interview, and a preliminary list of questions.  But I'm curious what you'd like to read about.  Have any burning questions about using social media today?  Any suggestions for people to answer those questions?  Feel free to leave your thoughts in the Comments below.
