Follow-up on Social Networking post

Some interesting things have happened since I wrote a post titled "the end of social networking". I mentioned OpenBC which changed its name to Pink Ming Dinq Zinc Zinq which made a lot of People search for blogs about OpenBC which means I received a reasonable ammount of traffic during the weekend. Then I received a seemingly harmless message from a good friend asking me to sign-up for the Cross Media Conference Network. I'm not in The Netherlands during the conference but I figured it would...
