Facebook rules at the moment, but is it unstoppable? Is it the WoW of social networks?
Here's my thoughts on the next iteration of social network. I think it needs to blend social networks (or "the soical graph" as Mark Zuckerberg describes it) with CRM features. I have a Facebook acocunt, but I really do much with it. Most of the news feeds from my friends are simple one-liners, or "so-and-so just added ". It doesn't really tell me what's going on with my friends, especially if they're not putting the effort in to keep their profile updated (like me ...). What's really needed is a SN that tracks interactions: when I last emailed/phoned/texted each friend, when they last contacted me, and what we were talking about. I want to aggregate, for each friend, blogs, twitter, Flickr, everything. It would be cool to pull events from everyone's calendar too (at least those marked "public") and aggregate that too. And I want access to quality apps, not the junk that is now showing up n FB (I've even made one of those pieces of junk).
TBC.
