Couldn't agree more. Right ...Great blog post, Mike! Couldn't agree more. Right now, I do think that the Wired article is correct about the best social networking tools available - a blog. You can collect all of your own feeds and display them how you want (roughly). I find it kind of weird, however, that the article is posting about Plaxo's unreleased service and not even mentioning people who are already in that space and trying to make something happen.<BR/><BR/>The lack of reciprocal tethering to the people in your network (no friend model) is a problem, though, and it would be great if people could start adopting something like the XFN standard as a way of everybody playing nice with each other. As much as I think Facebook has a lot of cool stuff, ultimately, I don't want to be constrained by their service. Every day I feel that more... I hate receiving updates from my friends on multiple services through my email - what a hack.Erichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05083910422278292586noreply@blogger.com
