Social networking through the Internet and the old fashion way (in person) is the best way to characterize day 2 from the Exhibition floor at TechCruch50. I’m here showcasing Helpstream’s social customer service solutions, but mostly having great conversations with some of the brightest minds in technology.

In the social web applications space there is Politics4all. I suspect they’ll help redefine the meaning of grassroots politics – at least here in the US. Delver is here with a fresh way to explore your social network. Want to analyze your blog? Watch out for Statzen. CTO Jackson Miller gave me a quick demo that rocked!

But there were also interesting companies and conversations outside of the realm of social computing. For example, Flypaper demoed their flash-like content generation tool. I’ll be taking it for a test drive very soon. Technology enthusiasts were everywhere -- Mark Cuban even stopped by the Helpstream booth and gave us a thumbs up for our brief demo.

It’s interesting to see here the number of ways people communicate electronically – blogging, chatting, emailing, texting, and tweeting to name a few. A few years back, we’d just send email and when we were on the road, we’d log on at the end of the day to check our inbox. Now, the inbox, messages, and tweets travel with us on smart phones. The PDA for the most part has come and gone, devices and communication channels have merged.

I get the sense from seeing so many new social computing solutions here that companies and innovators are trying to figure out what this trend in ubiquitous communication means for core elements of the enterprise. As individuals continue to evolve the way they communicate, organizations must follow. That’s what makes some of the innovations I’ve seen here so interesting. They have profound implications for the way marketing, sales and service teams will need to operate in the very near future.
