Online Social Optimists

I’ve been thinking a lot about where to go from here, and with the last few days of tooth pain and drugged stupor as I go through oral surgery, I realized that Online Social Optimization is performed by online social optimists.

It’s going to get better.  Internet is not sliding backwards, it’s sliding forwards toward more functionality.

Gaming the system is impossible, primarily because there is no system central to the network – all needs are filled, then refilled again.

Watching twitter grow today I can really only smile – and ride along.

I honestly think that we’re going to see friendfeed take up where twitter leaves off – although it’s possible there’s a killer app out there I havent seen yet that will supplant friendfeed.  Hard to predict the future, much easier to track trends.
