Big news: Here is what a next-generation social network looks like.
The Mercury News’ Silicon Beat today carries a story about the new site that Marc Canter (my partner at Ourmedia.org) has built for Tony Perkins. It’s called GoingOn. Version 1.0 will be unveiled soon at his AlwaysOn site.
Marc has been talking for years about his vision for a “digital lifestyle aggregator,” a trip-over-your-tongue term that I wish he’d revise. Usually, he got blank looks as he explained the concept. So hats off to Perkins for letting Marc go to town and show people what social networking can be. Here’s his post outlining the basics of this “meta-network.”
Now, all GoingOn needs are the people. I’ll be one of the first to sign up.
JD Lasica, founder of Inside Social Media, is also a fiction author and the co-founder of the cruise discovery engine Cruiseable. See his About page, contact JD or follow him on Twitter.
