Future of Social Networking…we’re on the right path here
Posted by Martha Mihaly under UncategorizedI was reading a post on TechCrunch about the future of social networking and the direction warms my heart. It’s all about relevance, portability and context. What it boils down to is that you’ll be able to use your portable device (phone or whatever) to walk into a room and see profiles of everyone in there that subscribes to the service.
Imagine walking into a meeting/bar and knowing who everyone is, what their interests are whether they are working or socializing, single or not. You can ping them, if they are interested they’ll ping back…
It’s going to take a while to catch on outside of large urban centres I suspect, BUT the potential for it is incredible. Can you tell I am excited?

I dunno Martha, I find it a bit scary. I’d probably be getting my name off any site that was following me around in that way!
Peace today.
