Forums contnue to boom!
Despite Facebook & Twitter, the useful online forums continue to buzz and be useful for sharing info on a variety of topics. When I have a question, be it on kids education on non-religious homeschooling, the forums are the places that I'll go to to get thoughtful in depth expert discussions.
Facebook has groups and specialized areas but the in depth discussions seem to be on the discussion forums and boards. Twitter too has a lot of volume on many topics but not much depth.
The technology for the forums seems to be moving towards Vbulletin 4 and Ning groups. Php forum and Yahoo groups seems to be in rapid decline as forum hosting technologies.
BTW, I'm involved in managing forums using an array of technologies for the forum discussions, some a lot more successful than others. I have two discussion forums using Vbulletin 4.0, one on Joomla, one using BuddyPress on a WordPress site, and then four different Facebook pages.

I'm still struggling to understand why the Yahoo groups have so much tonnage of visitors. Habbits die hard! Just ask Bibo.
