Social Network Fatigue and the Remixable Web

by Peter Bordes : Jan 29, 2008

facebook-01.gifI have been thinking about the future of our daily Online lives and the growing issue of social network fatigue. How do we best optimize our time so that we can participate in the growing universe of horizontal and vertical networks? Technology and communication innovations have allowed us to do 3x more a day than we could do 10 years ago. Now the social web allows us to connect and extend our Online lives in the way we did in our offline lives only a few years ago. The two questions on my mind are “What is the next solution to allow us to participate in multiple networks in a meaningful way?” and “Where do we as human beings hit a wall and run out of consumption bandwidth”?

Here is an interesting video about this issue and an interesting solution. DataPortability gathers existing open standards into a blueprint for a social, open, remixable web where your Online identity, media, contacts and content can follow you wherever you go.

We at MediaTrust  have just put our first foot forward into the new world of open portable networks. We have integrated  our development partner ELC Technologies OpenSocial Container Plug-in Support to our bookQube site that is in beta. I will post udates on how things unfold with this open network solution. We are one of the first few to put our toe in the water!

Let me know what you think.
