Borrowing Judith Meskill's categorization we are seeing a new trend of social networking services on her 'plus' and/or 'edge' category making use of P2P technology. To paraphrase her we could call them YAP2PSNS—Yet Another Peer-to-Peer Social Network Service.
This week alone we've reported about Grouper, AllPeers and now we just got linked to Qnext.
Our Universal Instant Messenger keeps you connected to all popular IM's, you can also Talk Online anywhere around the world for free, host a live Video Conference or Transfer Files of any size with complete security. But the closer you look, the better it gets. Qnext allows you to create private, shared environments called Zones where invite other users to securely share your content and online services. A Zone can contain exciting services such as File Sharing, Group Text Chat, Qnext Photo and Live Online Games. And this is is just the beginning – Qnext will be offering many new services to enhance your online experience
1. Social network sites are a dime a dozen because they are so easy to create. P2P social software apps have much higher barriers to entry and so should be far fewer in number. Is there really a need for YANSNSL? The L stands for list.
