I believe that social networks will be like air. I’m not talking about social networking SITES like Facebook or MySpace. I’m talking about the relationships that each one of us has to the people who are important in our lives. I imagine a future where those connections will be anywhere and everywhere when and where you need them. And that they will be essential to our lives, like air. And without it in sufficient supply, we will feel not quite whole. We will look back in 5 years and think, wasn’t it quaint that we had to GO someplace to be social. So I believe that social networks will be like air – everywhere, and essential to your life.

Track transactions, not even reviews.

The key is to focus on the relationships and connections that are enabled, not the technologies. Think about the kind of relationship that you want. Do you want it to be short term and transaction, or long-term and intimate? To help you think about this, I have a simple idea.

Comcast is a cable provider in the US, and they have a reputation for poor service. They use Twitter to talk with people who are having problems. I used this site and Frank took great care of me. He is changing the face of Comcast, one tweet at a time.

Starbucks has a site where people can make suggestions on how they should improve. The key difference is that the suggestions are public, and people can vote for their favorite suggestions. Here’s an example of automatic ordering. Note that there is a status update here “Under Review”.
