I 100% agree with you. I submitted this because after seeing all these alternative social media, messaging, etc links the last few days I remembered the dreams of the aughties and thought OpenSocial deserved some attention. The other link I submitted today was for WASTE - the Nullsoft anonymous encrypted P2P chat client from the early aughts, but that one didn't seem to gain traction. Many of these ideas have been around for a long time in a much more rational form and should be re-visited and built upon instead all these fly-by-night knee-jerk response apps.
