Will social networks kill Spam? (Are we creating self regulated networks?)

The amount of comunications happening inside social networks is exponentially increasing. People are not using email anymore (well, not that much at least):

• Why Email No Longer Rules…

Happens with every change, some people are afraid of it and some are so rapidly changing habits that they forget that the value of technology is to enable better processes, be more efficient and get most of your time spent in front of a computer.

There is a big fuzz about getting Google wave invitations. It is just a matter of typing "google wave invite" in your search engine and you will see, or try twitter and you will see everything from people asking for Retweets to some even offering sexual services in exchange of a Wave invitation.

Google Wave may or may not be a revolution, but the really interesting thing for me is that I believe all these communications through social networks like Linkedin, Facebook, etc... will provoque a major change to our communication behavior and specially will allow for getting spam out of our lifes.

It will take time, but I believe that these new platforms for communication will become self regulated networks. Users will no longer accept unsolicited communications, it will simply be a matter of unfollowing, deleting or not being friends anymore with the person sending you spam.

And you better not be in the list of people doing that because you won't be able to communicate anymore.
