« Holidaze | Main | O'Reilly's Emergent Democracy Forum » Cory Doctorow's 2004Cory Doctorow has a prescription for 2004: quite building those dang social networksters, learn to love the 'net's complexity, warts and all! [Link] I have a special request to the toolmakers of 2004: stop making tools that magnify and multilply awkward social situations ("A total stranger asserts that he is your friend: click here to tell a reassuring lie; click here to break his heart!") ("Someone you don't know very well has invited you to a party: click here to advertise whether or not you'll be there!") ("A 'friend' has exposed your location, down to the meter, on a map of people in his social network, using this keen new location-description protocol -- on the same day that you announced that you were leaving town for a week!"). I don't need more "tools" like that, thank you very much. jon posted this at 11:47 AM |

What tools do you want Cory? You've just told us what you don't like about Friendster and Ryze, what tool do you want? And what section of Home Depot would we go to to look for it?
