Well, this is 100% intuitive talk, i'm not basing this on anything in particular. I do work in a company where i'm exposed to LARGE systems. And out of what i have noticed: - The larger the system, the SLOWER it should change, or things will break!. - The more powerful the system the more likely unwanted people would want to tinker with it. We have had few issues with social networks that has been addressed by many people, including: - Spammers - Sexual preditors, Call me paranoid, but i do think we will have BIGGER issues, and maybe soon. Now!, what could it be!?, NO CLUE, perhaps someone will write a WICKED NUTTS facebook app that APPEARS to be interesting, and a bunch of people will download/use/install (not sure how that works over there!, i dont have an account), and when the time is write, the app author invokes the "secret" part of the code which hijackes bank cookies!. And out of (how many million users?), some of them who are using the app WILL have thier online banking open!. I'm going to the store to buy three years worth of beans and dry food!. what do i mean by they are overdue? and what type of shit will hit the fan?

And hence the next big thing!. Seriously think about it!, EVERYBODY is connected, everybody is sharing, and everybody is happy!. Facebook is worth 14 billion dollar, thats almost three times as much as FORD is worth!, COMMON!, i'm all about chaos theory. And social networks have had very little amount of problems so far!, in comparisons to their growth. They are overdue. i believe that the system is working just a little bit too well!, and i DO believe that very soon, sh!t will hit the fan one way or another!. And hence the next big thing!.
