Anyway, google wave is on the horizon and might be just what everyone wants: social network where all servers interoperate by design, data is not held as hostage on anyone's server but copies of data are passed around to every participant who needs it, anyone can start a server, etc. It could well provide the platform that everyone could live with.
Sounds just like USENET to me.

Then you're not listening :P.

You should take a look at Google Wave - the presentation at wave.google.com is worth watching if you have the time (it's about an hour and 20 minutes).

Of course you might still not like the sound of it, but personally it's the first 'next big thing' idea I can recall seeing which doesn't seem completely pointless.
