Amid the Facebook hype [even Scobleizer’s convinced!], Dave Winer offers wise words about the explosion of social networking sites from LinkedIn to Facebook, and even YouTube:
“Eventually, soon I think, we’ll see an explosive unbundling of the services that make up social networks. What was centralized in the form of Facebook, Linked-in, even YouTube, is going to blow up and reconstitute itself. How exactly it will happen is something the historians can argue about 25 years from now. It hasn’t happened yet, but it will, unless the rules of technology evolution have been repealed (and they haven’t, trust me)”
Anyone want to play the ‘Pin the social network on the hype cycle’? game I’ve just invented?
Technorati tags: Facebook; hype; Dave+Winer; social+networks
How do I play?
Hi Lin…. er, good question. I hadn’t really devised a game but perhaps I will now!
Too bad, Sounded like fun!
Well then… I’ll do my best to make it happen…. any good flash designers out there??
