Need a GPS to navigate this social map

Loic LeMeur, definitely one of the pioneers in the social networking space shares his social map 

And comments:

"The challenge for Friendfeed and the like is that while I really like all my services gathered in one place, I would rather that these would be centralized on my blog instead of a third party service. Yes you can cross post or add badges, but it's not really like a center feed in your blog. What I like about my blog is that it is my space, I own it, I can customize it and change it, I do not depend on anybody (except the software and host, TypePad of course, needless to say)."

Amen.

In the meantime, if you are looking for a GPS to navigate the map of countless social services and tools, the EU may be taking a hard look at the Nokia-Navteq deal. For a while now, I have been concerned the EU has been tough on Microsoft, Qualcomm and other US players while winking at Nokia, SAP and European vendors.
