Especially the part of the blog asking if a social network can become more than the sum of its parts. I have noticed social networking sites are fun, but there aren't very many features that allow you to network with people to find an internship, startup capital if you have a business idea, learn from and talk with a professional, collaborate on business, school, non-profit, local, and cross cultural projects? This is the idea behind a small project Collaboration Board. If anyone is interested or have noticed certain "must-have features" not available on social networking sites feel free to take a look www.collaborationboard.com and post or email any comments or questions. This blog entry is great because it really poses the question - What is in store for the future evolution of social networks? This blog entry definitely interested me.
