Random ruminations of an Evolutionary Technologist (a.k.a. Edublogger) who believes that "It's not what you take but what you leave behind..." Fun part of that could put him in good company with the likes of Benjamin Franklin, Eisenhower, JFK, John Lennon and Steven Spielberg. Longer list is here. Serious part is that he also focusses on Technology, Economics and Society.

Thus Google gets more social
Associated Press reports that Google joins effort to make more Web sites more sociable.
"Google hopes its latest social tools will encourage people to
spend even more time online, giving the company more opportunities to
show the advertising that generates most of its profits."
Time to party? Don't ask me but I don't know who'll come home with a headache.

with the continuous improvements in livestreaming and video chat, i think it likely that online social interaction will grow to a level yet unforeseen.
however, until VR is developed, i doubt if it will reach a point where offline interaction will be threatened, so to speak.
to put it simply, a huggy emoticon isn't as satisfying as a real hug. :D
More than valid point. The word social should have been in quotes. In other words, "get a life(?)".
