I’ve actually been pondering how the ubiquity of social media + data with mobile context has turned “social” into something seemingly unsocial.  It’s cool that I can open an app and pull up information about locations aggregated from thousands of other’s updates, rating and pictures, but their just data at this point, there’s nothing social about it. Then add to this the shifts in the Web from open to proprietary platforms. and all of a sudden social media is starting to indeed look anti-social.
