Facebook will be cutting down nets this year

March Madness is on the horizon.

The impending excitement has already provoked Erik Qualman, Global Vice President of Online Marketing for EF Education, to start asking for bracket predictions; only, in this case, he's looking to find out, "Who is, or will become, the king of social media? Is it Facebook? Twitter? Or is it a "Cinderella story" like Livemocha?"

Here's his version of the Sweet 16:

Region 1 Region 2 Region 3 Region 4
1. Facebook 1. Wikipedia 1. YouTube 1. Twitter
2. Delicious 2. Digg 2. MySpace 2. LinkedIn
3. Orkut 3. Hulu 3. FriendFeed 3. Flickr
4. Yammer 4. Hi5 4. Livemocha 4. Bebo

While Twitter may be the Davidson of the '08 tourney (inspirational and gaining rapid popularity), Facebook is "more popular than porn" and is therefore the crowned king of social media in my bracket.

Zuckerberg's team runs the fast break with efficiency, plays sound defense, and rebounds the ball well.

Who's your squad?
