Social networking

Facebook. It is not a fad! Social networking is here to stay!
In the future, we will need systems to organize our web friends and connections. Like iTunes organizes music from the day that our records became mp3's (and thus we own much more music now), the people we know through the internet are just a click away because they are just icons in sites like facebook. The need for something more controlled and "closed" or "exclusive" will contribute to the creation of new forms of social networking systems. These systems will probably aim to more than just messaging and chatting between friends. One day we will be having more than one identity or personality that we socially use on the web that maybe we will need systems to organize our identities.
