The future of social networking?

I dont know if you all have seen this. I signed up for the beta and am just now checking it out. It is on the other side of the pond from me so I am sure it will be slower in feeding over to where I am at. Seems like it could be pretty cool.

Interesting - but I'm not sure about the whole 'connector' thing.. I for one definitely don't need yet another thing to carry around with me. Looks like one of those sites that claims to be 'everything' without any actual success or accomplishments as of yet, could skyrocket.. or could completely flop. I guess we'll see, but it looks to me like a social media verson of Open-ID.. and that never really took off!

Yea they have some work to do. Especially since they dont currently have many networks hooked into their system. I think it will do well as long as they actually connect themselves with more services.

I don't think it will work at all.

Not to be some negative Nancy but I really think that won't make it passed it's beta testers.

Yeah they tried to make toys like that, and they all flopped.

I think the connector is just a "shiny thing" that would work for convenience if you did happen to meet someone. I agree that it would be unlikely to probably meet someone else with one. The systems has 5 digit codes that you can switch and manually put into your account to achieve the same end goal.
