Fred,

I have found a little more Social Network Blending on YouTube. YouTube now has a "Find a Friend" option as used in Facebook, FriendFeed, GoogleMail etc.
Please see my Blog post on this:

Thanks for the comment Loz. Maybe the Web 3.0 is around the corner… (definitely faster than what it took to shift from 1 to 2.0)

Interesting post Fred. Everyone's trying to get a little piece of the social media 'flavour of the minute' that is Twitter. I just don't know that their features can really work across other platforms. Bit like a square peg-round hole kind of situation. I can't really say I've seen many people using the new @replies on Facebook.
I definitely think we're all ready for a change and a revolutionary social media platform. All that seems to make the headlines at the moment is that a site is adding real-time search, or that Facebook has had another redesign.
Like you, can't wait to see what's next.

Thanks a lot for your comments Stuart.
It's tru that the example can also be taken to the offline world. The Lexus design as something that I always wondered, how come this guys look so similar to Mercedes? I'm sure they lost a few cases…
As you mentioned, maybe this is getting to a point where the Web 2.0 can't look creative or innovative any more… Let's see who brakes the ice first

Good comments. I noticed, while doing research for a post on my blog, SociaLies, that more and more of the social media channels are trying to seamlessly integrate themselves, through apps and otherwise, with other channels.

This seems like the automotive and other industries, which often copy more successful models, sometimes to the point of losing their own unique, competitive edge. Lexus, for instance, copies the body style of a popular Mercedes model in the target market of Lexus, and they start to look the same. Hyundai then copies the Lexus model, and they all start to look the same.

This could be the start of backing into the Web 3.0 paradigm change, where data becomes universal and omnipresent.
