Almost there... where I want social networking software and P2P to go
While complaining to a friend about Orkut and Friendster and all the other crap that passes for a new fad today, he suggested I look at Flickr.com.
I want to share movies, audio and files along with my network of contacts and all that linkedin and ryze can do.
Why is it my Rhapsody playlists and library is trapped with me? My digital media collection (if I only had a DVR) is trapped here without lots of downloading of risking a lawsuit or viruses by going on a Kazaa network or something.
