Thank you, that’s indeed one vision. Is that how far it goes, though? Is publishing out, and commenting and liking all there is to “supports and fosters social interaction”?

For me, that phrase sounds much more ambitious.

Some examples:

* if the site is the BBC: listen to a podcast together with my friends. Debate it. Rewind it. Take notes together.

* if the site is a clothing retailer: try on the coat (in AR) and have my friends request “twirl to the right a bit more” and “put on that hat from that other store as well!” so we can see how it looks on me.

(Okay, the second is a somewhat outlandish example given where we are, but we are talking vision here … where do we all want to take this or do we stop at Twitter ca 10 years ago?)

Cheers,




Johannes.
