I’d love an invite

As for social networking – it would be appreciated. I would like to see TV and movie suggestions as well based on previous purchases.

While we’re at it, why not integrate an IM client for some pop-up on-screen texting via iPhone keyboard with friends all watching the same thing at the same time? Or even timecode stamped comments to pop-up at the right time for friends watching the same show at a different time? You could collectively create a Mystery Science Theater type experience with jokes along the way.

In addition, how come there isn’t a “Genius” for podcasts & TV shows so that they all load one after the other, creating an instant TV station based on available media on the Apple TV.

Yes!!! Or at least something with the AppleTV. Apple has made a great platform for the living room, they just need to do something with it.

I was hoping MoblieMe/.Mac would become a social community that could be integrated with all of Apple’s products.

Opera has done something very interesting with their My Opera Community (http://my.opera.com/community/), around a browser no less.

Microsoft has done something equally as cool with the social network around Zune, being able to share your song recommendations with friends and family.

The Xbox 360 this fall will allow you to stream netflix through it and also simultaneously watch a movie with someone across the country in sync. That is very cool!!!

The Apple community is already there solidified, waiting to gather around a service. Apple has the products there, but they need the service to bring it goether.
