Socially Unacceptable

The buzz is about social. This is a ridiculous fad of describing what is happening in Silicon Alley these days. Every Tom, Dick or Mark is coming up with notions of what would make people connect socially while getting more disconnected in real personal interaction. Now some of these ideas have clearly not taken off along with a bunch of mobility enabling devices so the new lingo that might appear in the headlines would look like - Facebook did a Faceplant RIMM is GRIM Pinterest has piqued interest among some (for now) Foursquare is not quite getting round to connecting anyone with anything Twitter will chirp itself out of existence Tablets have not cured any aches but added to more carpal in the carpool lanes All in all totally socially unacceptable outputs from the wizards of technology I say.
