Beyond the time being spent via social media, I'm curious what HN thinks we can do to show qualitative value per interaction vs. quantitative.
One thing I didn't include in my post was Hoffman's discussion of the three types of data that will prove to be important moving forward: explicit (data people supply), implicit (data created by behavior), and analytic (data gleaned from explicit and implicit information). Currently most social tools are very good at taking in the explicit data and showing people their own implicit data (think Tweets, Retweets, Followers), but there is--from a user standpoint--a lack of open analytic data showing the impact of their own behaviors.
