Going Ga-Ga over Maka-Maka

Wow, on the same concept as the previous post, Is Facebook the Next Revolution of E-Mail, I came across this article about Google’s latest initiative called “Maka-Maka”. Maka-Maka is a social network/matrix overlay over Google’s popular applications like Gmail and Google Maps. Like Facebook, it looks like Google wants to incorporate more interactivity and interaction amongst the user and their network of friends. I could instantly imagine recommendations of restaurants by friends on Google Maps, looking at personal profiles through your contact list on Gmail, or giving a status update to your network if you are editing a document on Google Docs.
This will be quite interesting to see how Google develops “Maka-Maka” but the initial premise seems quite promising — making the web an even smaller and more interactive arena where better conversations can occur.
