in Amanda splits with ABC — does anyone care? on Mathew's comments
Never underestimate the appeal of a scandal. The blogosphere's favourite way to pass the time is navel gazing after all.

Joseph,

OpenID has that potential, but there are a lot of roadblocks in it's way currently.

in Showdown: Facebook versus the Internet on Mathew's comments
The interesting thing about Facebook is that it has added a layer of permanent personal identity to the Internet by forcing users to use their real identity. More impressively, they've created an environment where people are comfortable doing this.

Now that they've opened up the F8 platform developers have access to a ready made collection of user identities and relationships unlike anything that has really existed before. So far we haven't seen anyone do anything really interesting with this identity layer, but it's only been a month.

MOST people don't want to create and maintain a blog, but with Facebook they are getting many of the benefits that have a centralized identity allow with the added privacy that the 'walled garden' provides. As Esther Dyson says in the article you linked to, we are creating our own walled gardens.

in Can Sony get anything right? on Mathew's comments
Whenever I read hype about Second Life, I can't help but think of the massive failure that was The Sims Online. Back in the early 2000s the Sims was probably the biggest brand in gaming and very much mainstream and yet when they created a virtual world, it tanked. The only difference I can see between the Sims Online and Second Life is the idea (probably a myth) that you can get real world rich in Second Life and blog hype.
