If I had the opportunity to introduce a new type of social networking to the world, it would be a social network where regular everyday people reported the news. Things happen everyday in just about anywhere in the world at any given time. Why not allow those people who witnessed the situation first-hand be the ones to report the occurrences?
Sure, such things already occur in blogs and other social networking communities. However, with this type of social networking everyone will be connected the way everyone is connected on Twitter with trends and such. If something happens at any given moment and someone decides to report it, within minutes it can become a worldwide trend.
Not only will it offer the opportunity for people to report what is happening at the moment, it will also allow people to launch investigations. Whether it be a neighborhood investigation or an investigation on someone world renowned, anyone can contribute. Certainly this will bring people with common interest together as they communicate and contribute to each others work.
With a social network like this, the entire world can benefit. We have already been seeing regular everyday people doing things like this on current social networks and the results turn out to be beneficial not only to them but to many others affected by the situation. Why not have a social network dedicated to improving the world and bringing people together while giving everyone an equal opportunity for their fifteen minutes of fame?
