I want to ask a variety of experts some questions about social media, but I'm not sure which ones to include. If you'd like to answer any of these that I've come up with, or add a few of your own, just edit this page:

1. When will social media stop being unique from other technology, and part of the mainstream instead?


2. Will the control over content and ideas ever be put back into businesses' hands, taken away from the consumers?


3. Has social media had a positive or negative effect on society?


4. What social media technologies do you frequently use, or are you comfortable using?

I'm organizing all the articles we've written about blogs, social networks, podcasts, wikis, social search, and mashups to use in a compilation piece about social media. Add anything you think I'm missing (bold indicates story TK):
