Yes good ideas. Hhonestly I thought we'd have it by now. I've been waiting to have my social account outside of Facebook that could connect with contacts who "live" inside its walls. Why is everyone so happy to be with one company? Why are they happy to allow one company to manage their social connections and notifications for life? Social connection technology shouldn't be tethered to one company, everyone huddled under its "protective" wing. That is typical early 21st century thinking. It's eco-system lock-in mentality, which works against users in the end. I heard a journalist recently call Facebook the "modern day telephone" (Leigh Sales, ABC), which is a stupid thing to say. Facebook is not the technology, it's a service that uses modern technologies. Imagine if there was only one phone company or ISP everyone in the world used. Not a great scenario for competition, innovation, safety, privacy and open standards evolution. We need those new protocols and ways to connect by easily talking between social media platforms.
