Not only were continents visible, certain international borders were apparent as well. What really struck me, though, was knowing that the lines didn't represent coasts or rivers or political borders, but real human relationships. Each line might represent a friendship made while travelling, a family member abroad, or an old college friend pulled away by the various forces of life.

What is content curation and why is it so important for the future of web content publishers?

18. Social Gaming
Social Networks has gone beyond friendship circles and rich media such as photographs. The increasing trend is for hosted games with a central social element. This trend is an extension of casual gaming exploited by Nintendo Wii, SimCity, Habbo Hotel and World of Warcraft. It also attracts equal numbers of females that hardcore gaming turns off.
Reward for playing is of course fun it is also social currency; attaining goals, making new friends and rising up the ranks. Many games require friends to help build your status; such as Farmville where cooperation is both rewarded and mandatory. Brands in this space have to be useful, appropriate, authentic and reward users.
Social gaming is also increasingly mobile. Watch out for local interaction and massive jumps in realism as browser, broadband and processor capabilities improve.
