Self-congratulatory demonstration that I can, in my own small way, predict the future.
From a post I wrote about mobile social networking back in January 2008:
If you take my 150 [Facebook] ‘friends’ and, allowing for overlap, reckon that each of them brings a further 50 uniques to the mix, I have the potential to hit 7,500 people, each of whom would know me, or someone who knows me. Filter that down to people living in LA, and you’re probably still in triple figures. A few of them are probably going to know somewhere decent to drink in Venice, some of them might even be out in the area and up for meeting up, and, who knows, if I wasn’t happily married I might even enjoy a night of consequence-free sexual intercourse with one of them. A long shot, perhaps, but I’d take my chances over The Flirt Hotline.
Introducing, launched yesterday… Facebook Places.
