SNS 2.0, Again

Carrying the flame from Dave Pollard's post, and definitely in line with the thinking I am having on the matter, Richard Tallent has a wonderful list of the many things he would like to see in his next SNS. My favorites include:

• Shared contact manager is at the core.
• Content I share to subscribing contacts is automatically uploaded to them. No wait, no need to search.
• Shared derivatives. If a family member removes red-eye from my picture, I get back the new version automatically, but the old is never destroyed. Same with contacts.
• Photos are tagged with metadata pointing out people, etc. People linked to contact entries, so "browse by photo" is possible, allowing me to search for specific people or photos taken by other people at the same event.
• Multiple simultanous profiles possible, so I can have a "work" profile and a "personal" profile with widely-varying contact lists and content.
• Share with myself: unshared personal information can be synched between multiple computers with the same profile/license combination.

I wish I could share more about what we have brewing here, but I can guarantee that some of this is coming very soon.
