If you have been following the latest undercurrent to the Web 2.0 / Social Apps / User Generated content trends out there you might be able to see the tide pulling out as the Tsunami is about to hit. The Tsunami being “Social Backlash 1.0″. This just dawned on me while I was trolling my RSS feeds and came across Susan Mernit’s Blog quoting a comment from Jeremy Zawodny’s blog on the release of PeopleAggregator.
“Now you’re starting to understand the basic principle of Web 3.0: Anti-Social Software. We don’t need systems to invite us to Social Networks, we need Anti-Social Network software to make all those people leave us alone.”
It’s actually the truth and an opportunity. How many Friendster, Orkut, Linkedin, Yelp, Myspace, Ryze, TogWorld….and on and on friends can one person have? There’s a time and a place for everything but sometimes, i just want to be left alone.
The next generation of web services out there will capitalize on making sense of all the content and networks that have been accumulated over the past few years. Companies will start to develop ways to filter and parse the Web 2.0 world to help us keep the good and chuck the bad.
The shift is on however – earlier today, I read an interesting post from a new blog by Marc Fawzi highlighting the issue with the “wisdom of the crowd” [ BUZZ WORD ALERT -- understand this concept for current cocktail conversation, you will start hearing it a lot more ]
If you are the type that loves to have the latest conversation on the tip of your tongue, it will soon be in vogue to down play these networks. This is unfortunate but inevitable.

Have you read James Surowiecki, a New Yorker writer,who thinks that crowds ARE smater? I’m not sure I agree.

I think the term is not new and in the books case it argued more about statistical sampling evening out results.
I’ve seen it pop up a bit more lately in more of a negative tone. It may end up being another one of those terms that the “semi-initiated” drop to appear up on trends when discussing social networks.
The antisocialnetworking bandwagon rumbles on. Check out isolatr, snubster, perhaps starting with a comparison between them:
