on Apr 2nd, 2007Socionet Trends – My talk at Barcamp Bangalore 3

I spoke recently at the third Barcamp Bangalore and it was an experience that I shall remember for a long time. Meeting so many people, passionate about their respective fields, talking about their ventures, research interests and possible outcomes was enough for me to introspect where I was headed.

My discussion: Socionet Trends 3.0 : Evolution of Socionets

Evolution : Social Networks have grown pretty mature in terms of its outlook. The amateurish streak of wannabe entrepreneurs has made way for a rich set of networks each with its own niche and userbase. Its almost certain that almost every web service allows you to either share or collaborate over a certain functionality and users expect to share their online presence with their near and dear ones.

With such a strong inclination towards collaboration, a concept which is inherent in social networks, why not let socionets become the base for any application. Build you ideas on top of a social network, that will save you the trouble of designing for collaboration, inter user communication etc. The network phenomenon will also guarantee that your existing users will bring in more users to your service and help market it by sheer word of mouth. Make socionets pluggable into your browser or your OS , in a way adding 1 touch sharing, commenting, collaboration right from ground up. How easy would it be, if you could right click on a file and press a single button which read “Share/Collaborate with my friends”.

Evolutionary angles of socionet also expect socionets to become intelligent themselves. A socionet being able to relate to you at a personal level, that helps filter unwanted information and helps you in your everyday activities would also be good. Imagine a socionet that could find like minded people without you looking for them, what if it could give you updates on information that matters to you the most, like gigs, seminars and other events. What if socionets , which are becoming information repositories in its own right, could semantically link topics and autotag articles and other information. That day is not so far.

More later…….
