Social software can be a bit hit and miss

Electronic circuits

Sometimes social software blows me away. Like the other day when I was clicking through people Ziki thought had affinities with me, and I landed on a colleague's page. And yes, I happen to work with people I like and feel a community of interest with.

And then last.fm tells me that the top compatible person is jpjustin: male, 16, United States, which Favourite Tag is 'chicks i want to f**k'.

Oh, OK then. Cool. I might be old enough to be his dad, but at least we can hang out and listen to Cat Power, AIR and LCD Soundsystem together.

    Out of the 2-million or whatever subscribers to last.fm, my second-closest neighbour is Jonathan, who is a friend in real life. That's pretty spooky.
