I agree, this IS truly the way of the future. The Economist has published a special report on online social networks and how they are changing the way people communicate and work:
„The social networks’ great achievement has been to turn themselves into superb tools for mass communication.

Moreover, they can send out videos, pictures and lots of other content with just a few clicks of a mouse. “This represents a dramatic and permanent upgrade in people’s ability to communicate with one another,” says Marc Andreessen, a Silicon Valley veteran.“
