Just a matter of time until this isn’t just street law anymore.

I figure out one reason that Facebook “Likes” fail. I don’t always like things. While it’s good for telling people what I like, it’s not good for telling people what I don’t like.

What I want from my social network is a list of all the books, movies, TV shows I’ve watched, and a rating for all of them. Call me fickle, or too into data, but what I like is only half the data. I just saw Scott Pilgrim. I give it a four/five. Is that a like?

What I want is an integrated GoodReads into Facebook, as well as one for music movies, television - something that I “check into” every time I’m ingesting a piece of media. The more automatic the better, then it can queue things up for review when I finish them. Then, I can broadcast my own opinion to my current friends, as well as find people with similar interests.

Am I saying Facebook is bad? No. What it got right was a clean-cut easy-to-use interface. What I need is that but with as much detail as I want to add (but as little as I want as well). It can be as unintrusive as I want, but should have the reach of the most detailed user. Store all the records details like it does with the like pages, grabbing them off wikis and Amazon, but only display the title/author for general users. Let people put “read” and 1-5 stars, but then let them add everything that GoodReads lets you.

Movies, books, TV shows, music, places, websites, events, governments. Do it up for everything.

Go forth and make my social network of the future.
