Also, the idea of centralized privacy preferences has been around since at least the late 90's, and was abandoned in 2006. See: http://www.w3.org/P3P/

The (online implementation of the) idea for social networking started in the 90s too by a little company called 6degrees that Amazon eventually bought. It too was abandoned along with the idea of social networking until friendster came along.
