Taking a page out of Google...

One of the reasons Google become popular was it's simplicity: it does one thing: search, and it does it very well and not much else besides.

 

So we're facing dozens of social networking sites that include everything but the kitchen sink (unlike Facebook which probably has a "Kitch 'n' Sync" application for it somewhere).

 

So here's an idea: a website where it's nothing BUT social networking.

 

You're presented with a simple network graph showing relationships between UML Actors (they don't necessarily need to be people, I'm sure some of us have feelings for their cats/dogs or love their computers). These networks are then n-dimensionally linked with other user's network.

 

So many so-called "social networking" sites are simple one-to-many relationships marked one a "friend/foe/fan/freak/family" basis. I don't feel this is a realistic model of how real-world relationships work. Then there's the obligatory many-to-many groups system, if you're lucky maybe some tags too.

 

With more people becoming disillusioned with Bebo, MySpace, and Facebook, yet want to network, can anyone see a potential market in this? People's lives get ruined by their Facebook or MySpace profiles because of embarrasing photos, yet this is social networking, pure and simple.

 

Discuss. Potential investors also advised to reply. I need mon€y!
