Original Concept- SO.net

Posted by Adam d Shaw on March 18, 2006

We all love Social Networking sites (Your using one right now) and if there’s one thing we all love the most about them its their ability to connect with each other to create new interesting Mashups (If you don’t know what a Mashup is go read this informative article on Guardian Unlimited)

So it begs the question why not create a Super Mashup? A website that would combine all the most popular Web2.0/Ajax websites into one easy to use, And above all useful website.

Thats where SO.net or Social.Networking comes in.

Imagine a website where you could view all your friends latest Flickr photos, While checking if you have any new P.M’s on Myspace, While reading the RSS feeds for your favorite blogs, While you finally check out what songs your friends have been playing on iTunes through Last.FM and all of this in a single dynamic Ajax enabled page that could easily be set as the ultimate homepage.

And the whole site would be run with an open API, So fans could use the site as a basis for their own original Mashups.

Well thats the idea, If you have your own Mashups you’d like to share please post them in the comments and you never know i may just post a special article all about them.
