Geo-Spatial / Location

•Look at the world & what’s around you via space / proximity

•Discover people / things based on proximity not just social graph & search

•Communicate & collaborate & trade based on proximity

•The new space / time continuum

Social•Facebook is the social graph but

will it be the only? Is it the only way to do it?

•1:few is seeing a resurgence. I want to share * with X,X,X right now. Diaspora got funded for a reason

•Privacy is an ongoing battle - identity protection & identity theft will be a big business

•Is social the new walled-garden?
