True power of social networks and dialogue

The success stories are there regarding jobs,startups and business arising out of contacts and further dialogue that happens due to the advent of blogs and Social Software startups.One just has to look hard enough and with a bit of luck one does find them and gets inspired to do something more and it is for the better of everyone in the neighbourhood and the world.
Today I read a story which narrated how social networks were helping to cure schizophrenia in developing and for the poor in developed countries.It just goes to show open dialogue almost always works when done sincerely and all concerned win-the care provider,the patient and the community win.
Even the conservative Business Week has started blogging and spreading hope and giving ideas and that goes to show what blogs and social networks can do-I found a tenant for a flat through a social network and made a commission so all can do it provided they access the net and use their initiative.
I also like http://blo.gs
It has been gobbled up by Yahoo and is reaching many web users right now too.
