Quoting JWZ:
"How will this software get my users laid" should be on the minds of anyone writing social software (and these days, almost all software is social software).
They're not using "social" as a buzzword indicating a passing fad. They're using it because, as JWZ points out, that's part of what software is today.
- axod 17y agoSoftware has been 'social' for 10-15 years at least though. We just didn't call it 'social' until the last couple of years. I think that's why it's an irritating buzzword. It suggests there's something new and revolutionary, when it's actually just more of the same.
