Maybe I just don't "get it" but all of the descriptions of this stuff flies way over my head. Admittedly, as soon as I see the word "social" being applied to my personal files, the red alerts go off and my brain shuts down. :) The idea of the things on my "desktop" being tied to the internet sounds very Microsoft-y and DRM-y and anti-privacy. First thing I did when I installed KDE4 was disable all of that indexing and crap. I don't want some master database of all of my files and their contents, and I certainly don't want information about them being sent "out there" somewhere. But, like I said, maybe I just don't get it. To me, and I say this as a KDE4 user, the KDE devs have blatantly plagiarized the Vista desktop and the Mac OS X control panel and put it all together on top of Qt4. :)
