I learned a lot one day when I was hanging out with a few completely non-techie friends on their laptops and watched them use Facebook. It was a new playground for them -- one where they added goofy apps, clicked, on ads, and participated in tons of surveys (none of which I do on a regular basis). Us heavy users are fairly advanced in both our understanding of social networking sites and in our knowledge of social graph theory. Until it becomes transparent and natural for the user, this won't happen. That means, until you no longer have to link up various services and mash things together (feed my Twitter updates to FB, etc), this won't be the next TV. But when it does happen, it'll be fascinating. Nick, I think you’re on track here when you bring this back to the average Joe.
