Sisyphus and Social Software

The biggest disappointment of social software today is that either you cannot actually do anything online (e.g. Xing, LinkedIn, Transnational Republic) except setting up your network or that what you do online is about as senseless as Sisyphus’ rolling his rock (Facebook, friendster, hi-5). But maybe, following Albert Camus that is all we strive for. “The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart.”
