I think he's correct in some of his predictions. I don't care to interact virtually with acquaintances and would rather make new real-world friends. I started building SociaLocale for this exact reason. It's an interest and location based social tool. It's in super-duper alpha at the moment, but can be found at http://socialocale.appspot.com . Will eventually do a Show HN once I'm confident it'll handle the load :)

I think he makes very little sense to be honest. I have a Google+ account which I never use or post anything to because the majority of my friends are on Facebook. All the people I have added on Facebook I have met in real life and are real world friends either present or past (people I used to go to school with) and certainly all people I would like to meet up for a beer with again. I have maybe 150 people on my fri…

I don't agree, to me he makes a lot of sense. I'd love for the social web to be more focused on the future and activities rather than that of an old photo album capturing the highlights of everyones oh so interesting lives.

I think your response to c) is somewhat over simplified, facebook is definitely not what I want but i still use it until what i actually want comes along and people start using that instead.

I think the owner of this post was given money with Google to make it this post, he is praising Google+ and debunking facebook, everything he posted does not make sense to me

Actually, not a penny. I am big Apple fan boy and don't like Android that much ... That being said, I have tried to analyze the space as objectively as I could.
