after twitter - answering tyler's question

The next layer on the stack... from Social Media on Vimeo.

ok. I have my final answer, well not really my answer - I cheated, but I still agree.

If you open the answer back up, I'll post there. Really you should have your friends call me out.

next wave - feed aggregation/filtering.
(I feel a little silly making such a broad, obvious suggestion - but really that is your answer.)

thinking aloud.

Answering the question - what is the next Twitter?

Trust based alternative currencies. (w/ true micro-commerce)
Pervasive, right sized web service talking computing devices (think Bug Labs)
Social Action directed through mobile technology. (currently manifested as Performance Art and digital graffiti)
Ocean Cities.
Reputation Systems.
Crowd Clout. (crowd purchasing - ie user/purchasing bases connecting before purchase.)
On Demand, Online Radio - PAYING royalties through loyalty programs and advertising.
Dark Nets. Honest CEOs. Electric Cars.
Global Insourcing (bastardized term meaning opposite of global outsourcing.)

But to keep in the theme, you're looking for an APP you can build proof of concept in an afternoon right?

Neural Network - data points - health care.

...Trying (hard) to keep on track to the theme of the question rather spouting nonsense like:

What do we need?

What is cool about Twitter? hyper-viral. broadcast to many/rebroadcast to many.

Social Network vs Twitter - real time? free of social network noise? Note: Social networks are now becoming real time. Maybe I should broaden the category of Social Network - to be Social Network AND feed aggregation and summary.

Twitter is a way to create and interact with feeds. And visualize these ideas.

What am I looking for? Meme tracking. ie Yahoo Buzz, HypeM, Real time Google. related aggregation and summary. killer app like twitter? not really. 2 million user potential? as Mel points out: 2 million isn't that crazy.

The Delphi Oracle.

Context - how/when/if we view these feeds - is a killer application. But for what purpose?

http://academicearth.org/lectures/the-world-is-flat

my take away in this video is - there is going to be a landslide of applications to fill these voids.

The city of Flint, Michigan is considering this very idea. Over the last few decades Flint has lost nearly half its population. They are considering the idea of moving the few remaining homes in some areas and resettling those people in a more concentrated core area. The abandoned areas would no longer need city services like fire protection, snow plowing and other street maintenance, or repairs of water and sewer systems. It is seen as a way of improving your dreaded economic efficiency in the operation of the city. The problem of suburban sprawl isn't even a factor in this plan.
