The next-gen social network
Big news: Here is what a next-generation social network looks like.
The Mercury News' Silicon Beat today carries a story about the new site that Marc Canter (my partner at Ourmedia.org) has built for Tony Perkins. It's called GoingOn. Version 1.0 will be unveiled soon at his AlwaysOn site.
Marc has been talking for years about his vision for a "digital lifestyle aggregator," a trip-over-your-tongue term that I wish he'd revise. Usually, he got blank looks as he explained the concept. So hats off to Perkins for letting Marc go to town and show people what social networking can be. Here's his post outlining the basics of this "meta-network." Congrats, Marc.
Now, all GoingOn needs are the people. I'll be one of the first to sign up.

Are you kidding me? Multiply has been doing this for over a year now! Where have you guys been? Multiply has proven access control model that *works*. You have granular control over who has access to your content and who may comment on it, you can design your own templates or chose from a variety of professionally designed ones. They support audio, video, photos, blogs ... they even have search functionality that allows you to find any type of digital content inside our social network. While they don't support meta-ids, they do allow you to import your social networks from just about any third party source ... and the kicker is that they have an email-replacement called "multi-messaging."
I've stopped using every other psuedo-DLA out there and only use my email for work related stuff.
