Conversation Agent: Your Face, Everywhere -- Are There Too Many Social Networks?
Here we go - Persona Overload/Decreasing Return on Attention
too many social networks, too many personas, too much updating, too much attentioning
Peer to Peer Persona Profiling takes care of all of this.
There's only one thing that P2P profiles don't do - enable you to find interesting strangers with no connection to anyone you already know (do we really need to meet more people on our own? to what degree?). A good social network would really be nothing more than a host with a good people search engine enabled for a P2P People network.
The fundamentalist in me won't be happy until we have the complete and total meltdown of every social networking site. We don't need MySpace - we've had Geocities already.
