“I am sure that the first and far from the last similar MySpace statement was made at the conference. As for social networks, MySpace will not yield Facebook leadership without a real fight. And this is interesting! When companies are in tough competition, we all benefit, the development of technology is only accelerating. ”
Tim O'Reilly argues that building a strong bridge between those applications that are “in the know” of our social connections and social networks is inevitable.
As a result, according to the Internet gurus, social networks will turn into a kind of smart address book application that collects information about all of our contacts. Social network systems will urgently need to integrate with those applications that, one way or another, relate to our social connections. Many niches in the field of contact management will open.
