		<description>After almost 10 years in the health care industry, I know now that it took me two years just to know what it is I didn&#039;t know. Health care reform has only added to that learning curve. But certain industries have relied on verticalness - health and tech come to mind. I think the new trend is the verticalness affecting areas that were before considered &quot;generalist&quot; material.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s exactly the direction that Becky McCray and I are going; social media, but specifically focused on how to use it in tourism and destination marketing.

We didn&#039;t call it &quot;verticalization&quot; though - it was more like sitting down at SOBCon09 and asking each other, &quot;What do we know really well and who else would like to know it?&quot;

Thanks for putting another name to what we did! :)</description>

		<description>Thanks for the hat tip.  It is fascinating to watch the education vertical as it navigates new and social media.  For the most part, the sector is still very old school, but recognizes that they &quot;absolutely have to be&quot; on one platform or the next.  As a result, too many lump new media and social media together, thinking a blog or a Twitter account is the answer to all of their communications yearnings.  Hopefully, education can continue to learn from those who came before it.</description>
