Hi,
There is awesome difference between real and virtual social relation. Never forget that a virtual contact session is, at first glance, just you in front of a screen and a keyboard.

This open platfomr project is very interesting. Josh has a point in asking : why can’t people be more social with their neighbors ?

Well, in fact, Web 2.0 can be an enhancer of local social relations with neighbours. In Paris, web sites like http://www.peuplade.fr and http://www.onvasortir.com are helping hundreds of people from that metropolitan area to meet at cafÃ©s, concerts, picnics, etc.

I am sure the same exists in other big cities around the world. So let’s not oppose virtual social networks to real social relations. The former can be a tool for the latter…

Facebook seems to be making lots of headlines these days. A newsletter released this morning on sitepoint.com goes very in-depth and makes as good point about the future of web 2.0 social projects. Namely, the open platform and what that means to developers.

A very interesting read… both this article and the link I’m about to paste. It leaves me wondering, why can’t people be this social with their neighbors?
