How you dress and how cool you're being may be next-gen social network triggers.

Here's an idea, you and your girl crew are going to a concert together then post-concert celebrations must be had. You know, a night out on the town at your favorite late night restaurant but two of you got separated from the rest, now what?

At the concert, you decided to go down for that awe inspiring cell phone shot of the superstar ripping it on the extended stage regardless of how smashed-in the crowd would become. Two songs later (extended versions) you've come out of that maze befuddled and completely disoriented as to where the rest of the girls have gone. Cell phones at their loudest volume can't be heard and there is enough body pressure from the obnoxious jumping morons nearby to make every moment a vibration moment (and keep your minds out of the gutters... I'm talking about phone vibrations).

How you dress could be used to identify you in a crowd? That's what Google and an application development group called InSight would have us believe. The next-gen social networking utensil created by Google is a super-spy-like pair of titanium glasses that provide notifications and data to help you see updates right in the corner of your eye. With just a glance up into the top of the glasses, you'll get the latest feeds and social networking info. InSight decided that integration with that same technology could very well pinpoint you or your girls based on the style and flair each is known for wearing.

A period of time used for training the fancy specs on what a specific person wears could lead to spotting your friends as the walk down the street or while blindly searching for a way out of the mob in a crowded concert. See what you think...
