A new page, Web 3.0/Communication, has been added to my Social Networking+ notebook for My Idea Outlet. The contents can be found below.
When I envision what should have emerged years ago as Web 3.0, I consider communication between websites as one of the biggest changes. My primary example of this has been setting up someone in your social network as a friend who uses a different social network so that he can view pictures on another site that you have marked as viewable by friends only. That's not the only type of communication that I expected to improve. Standard communications between visitors at a single website can be improved.
The inclusive social networking model that I have been suggesting can allow your credentials to identify you on any website willing to support the communication protocols. This can be done by a logged in network identifying your account (with permission) and verifying your identity. Sites could implement certain requirements to address spam, but you could ultimately contribute to discussions without having to create unique credentials for each website.
This approach should enhance the quality of online discussions. Websites could find the best tools for their needs instead of finding tools based off popularity. In other words, we would have quality software instead of the horrible commenting system put out by Facebook. Anyone who has anything valuable to add could then contribute since there would no longer be concerns relating to creating accounts. Busier sites would likely need some form of filtering to ensure quality posts can be found among the increased number.
