Network of Networks

That's the next logical step in social networks: let users define their own networks, who they invite and who sees its content. It's not utopical that in some years most of the Internet content is locked in private, closely-knot networks of affinities. The snobbish advancement of these future content elites is the uber-closed Asmallworld .

I have been testing some of these meta-networks and there is still room for improvement (most are in beta stage):

1. GOINGON: The ads are too obtrusive, paid service for +5 members. It lacks a decent media player and general integration of its manyfold and customizable service. I like the extra tabs feature that allows user-defined code or URL to be integrate in the page.

2. PEOPLEAGGREGATOR: Confusion between networks and groups, lack of nice media players (this is the key), lack of batch upload of content. Nice interface but still in the works. Charsets other than English get messed up.

More on this on the next post.
