Just spent a brief minute signing up over at ziki (here’s mine), the new social-software site that lets you aggregate your own content in one place and also tag yourself. The content aggregation could be a powerful way to move your media, but I’m also a big fan of the tagging idea, especially as it relates to virtual worlds. What I’d really like to see is a piece of social software that allows you to link your identity in one virtual world to your identity in another. I’ve written about this idea on Walkerings once or twice before, as well as in The Escapist. I’d really like to see some kind of world-straddling communications network emerge from this kind of thing. Xfire is something like it, but it’s not as open or powerful as what I have in mind. We’re due for some kind of VW-2.0 mashup very soon, I think. It will be interesting to see who does it and how.
