The Perfect Social Network

I really miss del.icio.us. For me, it was the perfect social network. That’s really what I want from a social network: I want to be able bookmark things I find interesting, and read the links that other people (that I follow) find interesting. I don’t need any more than that. I don’t even need to know why they found the link interesting.

Over the many years, I’ve tried to use other social networks (with varying degrees of success/satisfaction). What’s really been consistent, though, is that I’ve tried to use them all as either a bookmarking service or a blog. When I was on Google+ (which, I thought, was a pretty good one, as far as social networks go), someone once said (in response to something I’d said) that using a social network and not wanting to actually engage with others was masturbatory. It made me laugh, but, okay. I see that perspective and I’m fine with it.
