Despite it being a working prototype, I feel that this project provides a link between the ideas of shulgins 'Desktop is' and popular up to date social networking sites. I think that creating a social network that allows people to view what is going on within other users desktops provides a deeper insight into the original idea of simply providing links to images of users desktops which are not always a true representation due to the fact they can be altered before submitted.
The idea of viewing someone's personal computer which would include files, pictures, music collection as well as possibly even more personal data is in a way how a social network operates, the only difference being that the user is fully aware of the information being shared to the outside world whereas this is not always the case with real social network sites.
