				            | Absolutely. But I've wasted too much time with social networks that never achieve critical mass regardless of how cool they are. Whereas if I adopt HDDVD early, I may eventually lose the standards war but I at least get full value in the meantime. I get almost nothing out of a social network that never takes off. |

| Kink of Swank | While I don't think it's gonna go anywhere, I <i>do</i> like some of the beyond-facebooky ideas.  I like that you can include people who are not joined up, and they can get your status updates and stuff via email.  (I've a trogolodyte boyfriend who won't join facebook or twitter, so this would be a way to maybe freaking ease him in the 21st century). The two side-by-side feeds is interesting - one your typical "news feed" and the other a very googly feed of stuff not from your friends, but that the famous google magic determines meet your interests from anywhere on the interwebs. (It's all still a recipe for a facebookian echo chamber, but it's an improvement, imo). Despite all that, I predict another huge fail for google. Facebook and twitter are not going away, and - maybe I'm wrong - but I don't see people juggling THREE of these social network thingies. |

				            | I'm a Google+ user, but I don't really get it.  It's just Facebook Google-style.  I'll keep it for sh!ts and giggles but I'm sticking to FB for now.  |
