Okay, so I know this is major TL;DR material, but this is a really kickass slideshow put together by ex-Google social technology researcher Paul Adams about real life social networking vs. how we do it online today, and how the online counterpart could be changed to better reflect how we do it in real life.
This presentation re-emerged earlier today along with some other news about a project called “Google Circles.” It was rumored to have been announced at SXSW, but that rumor was later denied by a Google employee. Whether or not Google is working on this social network we’ve been hearing about for a few years now, the presentation is definitely an extremely good read, and if they can manage to accomplish the things they talked about, I think we have a very interesting future to look forward to!
Reblogging for relevance, especially considering everything in this came true with the introduction of Google+. Everyone should read this, even if they aren’t interested in Google+. It brings up a lot of good points and provides a lot of good insight into the way we use social networks today.
