Social is a flavor enhancer, like salt. It's a great flavor enhancer, but you don't want to eat it on it's own.Social + news = Facebook wallSocial + location = FoursquareSocial + YouTube = Better YouTube comments. Sorry, but it doesSocial + Search = Knowing that when I search for a thing, I mean the one my friend likes, not the similarly named one he doesn't.Social + Maps = Seeing that my friend goes to this restaurant and likes it.Social + video calling = A phone directory and avatars.FB Platform is the biggest thing FB produce.

It's a super great flavor enhancer.
