Ready for "Friend-spam" ?

Rough Type has brought to my attention a few new Google patents that have been filed for a new sort of "peer-to-peer" search and advertising. The former is definitely kind of cool and the latter...well, i guess sometimes it's nice to have a link to something where you can virtually "look it in the store," but I can see where it could really get tacky too.

[it means] the injection of commerce, and commercial incentives, into the most intimate of electronic communications. (email, etc)

"There's something I'd really love to tell you about."

The 'inside' on the re-launch of SuprNova.Org

"SuprNova used to be the biggest torrent site there was. It used to be the beacon of the file sharers. It was shut down by the former admin Sloncek when the pressure got too high. The MPAA and RIAA had their biggest file sharing victory ever with the closing of SuprNova. Now, a couple of years later, we felt it was high time to get the site back up."

"More information will be out later, right now we’re coding the last parts of the site."

The Internet is my Social Network

I confess, I have Facebook and MySpace pages. I honestly don't use them that much though. Why? Because I don't need too. I use email, pownce, or IM to communicate & chat with contacts on the web. If I want to share something with the world, I can do it here or my other blog, or at any location really.

The point is this, if you can link to it, others can share it & connect to it. While everyone gets excited about the next big social network...the overlooked beauty (and simplicity) of the Internet is that, it is the real underlying social network.
