Honestly, I think the current incarnation of social crap is going to be pretty short-lived. If you really look at it, very little is actually any good at what it does. It's just barely good enough. Google Hangouts is probably the only significant innovation in the past few years.

I'd be very interested in a startup promising genuine innovation, connecting people in new ways and changing the way we can socialize, something that everyone of a certain demographic would want to use. That's basically what Facebook was early on.

But building in line with the current "social" paradigm? Not very interesting.
