It looks obvious

In the last post I rant about the epidemic flood of social networks, and the lack of added value they providing. But I need to correct a wrong impression I might created. I do think that their is a vast use to social parameters in the Internet, most of it is yet to be developed. It is not, however, a replacement for the neighborhood bar. Companies like Last.Fm or Outbrain making pioneering steps in understanding how one choice of content (music, or blog posts) can be a recommendation to others based on very sophisticated matching. This is not involving broadcasting to the world every time that One doing something rather by aggregation of certain patterns.

I’m following some of these developments with great interest since they are, to my humble opinion, where the future of the Internet is  - not the passing fashion of twitter and its sort.
