Monday this week was a holiday, so I was able to do something I rarely let myself do: I rested.

I didn't go to the office. I didn't write some blog posts. I didn't catch up on email. I didn't put mulch down, organize the basement, pay bills, or clean the house either. I simply got together with three friends and just hung out by the pool all day. It was awesome! We had no agenda and our conversations were deliciously random all day long.

And in this open space, an interesting point emerged: what's next for social media. The four of us are steeped in social media professionally, and so we're all getting perhaps a little bit tired of the conversations that keep happening. So we wondered aloud what the next level is going to be.

I am going to think about it for a bit and I promise to post some thoughts, but I thought I would ask my readers first. What do you think? What's the next level in social media? As leaders, where should we be steering the conversation?
