Yeah, there's gotta be a way to cut out the middlemen, like farcebook, and still have the same desired functionality re social networking. I've been thinking about it for a while and here's what I've come up with. I'm not going to capitalize on this idea, so I hereby relinquish any intellectual property claim.
I'm not a social network user, so I'm fuzzy on details, but the problem I don't think requires this experience for its solution. And there should be a variation of this idea suitable for peer-to-peer implementation. I think of it as a "directory" solution. A specialized app would run on a person's website to provide the desired functionality: "staying in touch with friends" (whatever that means). The backside of the app would keep the app's data up to date by notification of available data update from friends' apps: "Hey, friend, I changed something; come and see." The backside of the app handles this update mechanism automatically. Similar to a domain name server, I could see a cross-indexed directory of app users and their various "locations" in the digital world, so that a "super-ID" could be used as a universal moniker, if desired. So, let's say Jimmy has ten "identities" online: he's got farcebook, bootube, etc. accounts. You can contact him through his moniker (more likely to keep the moniker secret and use pseudo-monikers, or tags that the directory links to the moniker...just for obscurity's sake) NO MATTER HOW HIS IDENTITIES CHANGE. Yeah, a domain name server for identities! Now...make it so! hehehe
