Social Networking - Phase II: Twitter-dux

When your chiropractor and your local coffee shop have both begun using Twitter and Facebook, I'm not sure what to think. I guess Facebook makes sense since the chick on the news is using it. Twitter, though, just makes me a bit sad, because I had it in my own head that it would be this haven in the social networking -verse which somehow stayed dry from all the corporate rain. But if the small biz guys are using it (and I'm hearing it all abuzz in the business networking groups), we can certainly expect Twitter to go mainstream in no time as well. I just don't wanna see social networking go the way of the Yellow Pages in 1/10th the time. The ability to be a "Fan" of my coffee shop on Facebook at least seems to have some promise in terms of separating my personal relationships and my business ones (who might otherwise use Facebook for junk mail). Maybe Twitter will find a way to sub-class itself as well.
