What does that mean and how do we make the first experience people have much better (it really sucks, you should sign up for all these new services with a clean account and compare to when you have a bunch of friends). Have we created a new, nasty, world where if you don’t have friends you simply won’t have access to interesting experiences or, even, news?

They tend to not notice the "alex twittered:" prefix of a facebook status update and ask me about twitter when they get around to it. As long as we can bridge the gap between mainstream services like facebook and bleeding edge stuff like twitter, it shouldn't matter how we post information on the internet.

We sometimes get caught up in the excitement of the moment and forget that 99% of the world's population has no idea about these amazing/game-changing/revolutionary technologies. Perhaps its time to get back to basics and build tools to let the mainstream catch up with us. I certainly think thats a noble goal, especially if that helps us connect more with our friends and families. Bon voyage Robert!
