Why couldn’t someone code up a program like bittorrent as social networking program. The program and all it’s files (like my personal photos and blogs, and list of friends, etc.) live on MY computer and are available to share with anyone I give permission (i.e. make a friend), eliminating the middleman such as MySpace or FaceBook, and the inherent lack of control middlemen create, not not mention it would eliminate advertiser dancing monkeys in the margins.
My “profile” is available when I’m online, which with high speed internet is 24/7, unless I choose to go “offline”. All my “friends” would be kinda like “seeds” that could be discovered, friended or blocked just like those big social websites. It could probably use a Mozilla engine to look a lot like a web page, but it’s reading from peers’ hard drives instead of a central server.
Someone’s gonna go big with this someday. Maybe next Tuesday…
