Recently, I’ve been immersed in the world of social media–I’m teaching a course on it this semester at the Department of Media Studies and Film The New School in New York City where I teach (online), and of course, I write about social media often from the perspective of business research in my publication, The Information Advisor.

As part of these efforts I’ve been doing a lot of scouting for new bloggers that have something truly insightful and compelling to say about social media.  The one that I’ve been most impressed with recently is called The Praized Blog. Its a creation of a company called Praized Media, a Montreal-based firm, which focuses on trust, and the local angle of social media, which most observers feel is going to be a very important part of how this area evolves. The Praized Blog is written primarily by Praized VP Sebastien Provencher.

I’ve been enjoying Sebastien’s insights. One in particular that I’ve been pondering is his posting that one should consider Facebook simply as “a game”. Another very interesting post on this blog illustrated the level of overlap between the major social networking sites.

Scan it for yourself–I think you’ll like it.
