We’ve got OpenID. We have OpenSocial. We have cross-platform IM clients like Adium and Pidgin. We have life stream aggregators like Friend Feed, Spokeo, and Lijit.
I want the following to be product features of something cross-platform, and I want it soon-ish:
- Friends list portability.
- Proximity-based social networks.
- Mesh networking widely built into laptops.
- A Network Communicator (that allows for IM, Voice, SMS, Status, Presence, and a platform for commands (like “follow” and “@”). I want this communicator to work the same way on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIN, my IM client, etc, the way a cell phone just cares about connecting the call, not which network you’re reaching.
- Granular, modular grouping of friend data.
