This document describes the development of a Plexus system for connecting individuals through shared contacts and subscriptions. Part One introduces the concept of a "Comfy Chair" for storing connections. Part Two outlines the Plexus architecture, which uses a shared database of connections and APIs for listening, sharing, and requesting contacts. Part Three briefly mentions the idea of "Social2.0" and concludes by thanking the reader.
