Wow. My colleague Tom Parish tweeted the following today:

tparish Facebook Chat: 1 Billion Messages Sent Per Day (fascinating, I had no idea of the volume, huge) http://ff.im/-43xgA

One billion messages per day. That's so much communication. Makes me wonder what our volume here at BMC is, on MS Communicator, or Skype, or even quick pings over email... or all of the above. Clearly the nature of conversation is changing... how is the IT world going to keep up? How do we evolve with it?

(Speaking of Twitter and Tom, I highly recommend following him @tparish. He's a savvy guy. And while you're at it, follow me @IT4GenY. Just getting started but intend to make it worth your while.)
