The Internet of Things will change the what it means to be social. Everyday objects, data, systems and people will be connected to create an intelligent network, creating value for those choose to be a part of it. Evidence of this shift can be seen first hand in the mobile traffic application, Waze, now a part of Google; by linking internet connected smartphones to other connected objects (traffic signals and cameras for example), people, data (real-time traffic information), and systems, the network helps drivers optimise their journeys in real time.

The social network of things is the interconnection of hybrid services, objects and people where ordinary users will eventually have the ability to create their own personalised social services easily and conveniently through the use of a network-wide API or Web passport that is both secure and convenient. In order for there to be a true social internet of things, data needs to be liberated from walled gardens and shared across multiple platforms (or one universal platform) if it is to be as useful and impactful as many predict.
