(Community Matters) Breakfast with Bryan Jones today who helped me understand the article on the future of the social web. In fact, we’re already in phase 3 whereby the one’s social graph (their social network information) from Facebook or Myspace will be utilized in other platforms. He gave the example of watching an event on CNN, while being able to see who else in your Facebook social network is also watching and being able to communicate with them (for instance, IM).
As for #4 , Bryan explains:
An easy example is NetFlix…crowdsourced reviews are able to recommend movies that are pretty good – Amazon is like this too – where based on your history, and those of millions of other people, they can recommend items that you might also enjoy.
Compare that to integrating NetFlix – or Amazon – with Facebook Connect, where, if you wanted to broadcast your movie rental history to your friends you could, so that all of a sudden, NetFlix is customized for YOU – what your friends have rented, which movies they liked, which movies they would also like to see, etc. Something that would change for each individual based on their social graph.
Always time well spent with Moximity’s CEO – who btw, has recently been elected to the Texas Ex’s board of trustees.
