I think it's already having notable impact in certain segments. Take healthcare for instance. There are a number of review/recommendation sites focused on rating doctors, hospitals, etc. More and more, people are turning to blogs, forums, socnets, and, last but certainly not least, Wikipedia, for information. At what point can we look back and say that the temperature reached 212 degrees? I don't know, but that day will certainly come. SM will definitely be a game-changer.

Good points Suki & Jason - sounds like you both believe there is more change coming ahead of us than there is behind us and that we are at the beginning of something. Cool. Mark, "Has SM reached the tipping point" is part of what I am asking, but I'm also trying to explore its broader impact. Hush Puppies reached the tipping point :) but they didn't transform society. I'm looking at the question: is SM one of those things that is (or will) drive major changes in culture, economy, ideology, etc.? Thanks for dropping by & commenting.

There's a big bell curve waiting for us to climb and lots of people to come with it. Let's just hope the powers that be (i.e. Google) don't blow it all up before we have all the fun.

There is still time for significant change to be enacted in culture, economy, society, etc by SM. But you know what they say about hindsight!! My assertion is that SM not a heap yet.
