- Description:
- Social networking is all about the connections between people. What we’re really moving towards are interest networks -- a paradigm whereby people inform each other, gain insight, and interact with information. Connecting with other people is only the first step to collectively organizing, sharing and discovering content. From Del.icio.us to Twitter to FriendFeed to Twine, we’re seeing many examples of this new category of software, which are founded on social connections, but are centered around the topics we care about most.
