Some folks asked me to post the audio with the slides. Long talk but apparently the Biggie and Jay Z references were a hit. Also my anecdote about a VC falling asleep on me

This is pretty awesome. Knod.es (and SnapGoods) was co-founded by a friend and classmate of mine from Brown, so I'd heard about it, but I never really got it until I read this post. These use cases blew my mind.  It's exactly what you wish you could do with your social network but couldn't if you were a mere mortal without a million Twitter followers. I will follow up w/ some of my own use cases once I get an invite code.

Your social graph has become too large to manage. Too much data and too many connections. The fact is you engage less than 5% of the people you’ve ever connected to online. Why? Because you’re busy and because your brain isn’t wired to manage 10,000 human relationships. You need help. Lucky for you a new generation of amazing services is emerging that will act like GPS for your life. But they will require a major trade-off: even more access to your personal data. What kinds of services will emerge? Who will own the data? How can we make our social networks…work? And will you sign up? Come glimpse the future.
