Identify and prioritizing disruptions that matter

User Experience•Is it easy for people to use?

•Does it enable people to connect in new ways?

Business Model•Does it tap new revenue streams?

•Is it done at a lower cost?

Ecosystem Value•Does it change the flow of value?

•Does it shift power from one player to another?

2) Social Search – Beyond Friends to Interests

digest Balancing privacy and personalization
