in TimesPeople: Nice, but not enough on Mathew's comments
It seems to me that the Times isn't interested in becoming another social aggregator. They aren't facebook...that's not their job. I'd argue that they've nicely (via rss) set up a way for the real social aggregator's (facebook, google reader, friendfeed etc) to consume the TimesPeople data. I'd like it if more sites would output their data to be used in things like facebook. What's more interesting to see in your facebook news feed, "So-and-so recommended this New York Times article" or "So-and-so poked you." ?

mathewi That's a fair point, Bill -- and I think it's great that they are
letting people's recommendations flow out through RSS. And I don't
think they should become another social aggregator. But I think they
need to think more about how to be two-way instead of just one way.
