Be my geist
Noticed this interesting feature over at Last.fm:
Reminded me of the one idea for a social network I’ve ever had — and decades ago. You’d get to pick two (and only ever two) current zeitgesit-y favourite things.
It could be anything. A person. A song. A flavour of KitKat. You’d be able to see your friends’s favourite things and, I guess, react. (But not comment, I reckon.)
But perhaps most tantalisingly you’d be able to see trends, local, regional and global.
Twitter trending topics kind of came to do that — that, but without any of the negativity. And I don’t know that that data has ever been properly tracked and visualised over time (although it looks like twitter-trending.com has had a go).
Anyway.
