As you've mentioned, MC, presence is a lot more than physicality. Will T keep its core functionality of concentrated offline/online glue -- or diffuse into an email system with a character limit -- and is that good or bad? Said another way, if T is used for everything (sharing links to content, spreading dumbass jokes, or even god forbid - work :)) will it count for nothing?

From my vantage point watching what they do, it seems that it's about assessing which component elements to utilize and the proper configuration to put them in to meet the structural goal -- be that raising a skyscraper or spanning a river with a suspension bridge. I have undertaken a similar effort to the one Michael M. describes above and I've found that the principles of engineering apply to the effort of building an online presence and reputation. I've seen some people try to build their reputation with Twitter alone and it hasn't worked for them. I think of it this way: the online reputation/presence is the finished structure; Twitter, blogs, FB, LinkedIn, etc are the component elements of that structure. You wouldn't build a suspension bridge out of just the suspension cables, you need the other things too and it takes an engineer to determine in what proportion you need those things. You can't build an online presence out of just one component element and it takes a Presence Engineer to determine in what proportion you should be using each...I've gone on too long; thanks for getting me thinking again!
