In the future there won't be any social media services at all. There will be only two ways to communicate - messages and feeds.
Messages
Messages are what used to be e-mails, text messages, twitter direct messages, facebook messages, and any other private message. They are all centralized in one place again, but of course they are all well tagged and color coded and categorized so you can easily go through them. This categorization is done nearly automatically, so it's not a hassle for you every time.Feeds
Everyone in the future has one or more public feeds based on topic. I, myself, will have a work feed, technology feed, thoughts feed, random feed, and family feed.Here's some examples of what I'd publish to each feed:
- Work Feed - "I'm working on Section PA09012 of the project and I think I found the answer. I'll be doing some testing this morning and if all goes well, I'll be updating the documentation this afternoon."
- Tech Feed - "The new app Konekt2Phamily is probably going to fail simply because the name sucks."
- Thoughts Feed - A long post on what I think the future of the internet might be.
- Random Feed - My wife and I got tickets to Willie Nelson in October. (I'd also add a clip of 'Always On My Mind')
- Family Feed - A video and a few random photos of my girls.
