Sounds like a neat little bit of software, but I don't like that nowhere on their site does it give any indication of who is publishing/authoring it. For all I know, it could set off some kind of trojan (delayed?).

Pity they haven't thought that side of the security issue through a bit more.

There is, of course, nothing to say that had they put that info up that it makes it any more secure, but it just looks dubious if they miss it out completely.

Anyone else share concerns about that?

Re: Amazon Tests Facebook Commerce

It is pretty potty that Amazon can have an app that tracks your Amazon activity, but haven't thought about it having your affiliate code attached! That's very naive or rampant opportunism.

Either way, it doesn't make them look very clever.

Re: Profile Mini-Feed Filtering Proves Misleading

I believed it to mean that it wouldn't be displayed in my mini-feed (only).

However, I work in the Law, so perhaps I am more inclined towards assuming only that it does what it says within the context in which it says it.

Good article though.

Re: Facebook Delays Profile Update

You're absolutely right Nick that perfectly satisfying both groups is at least questionable - and I would say impossible.

However, as they are each dependant on the other - Users dependant on developers to deliver good Apps that enhance the user experience; and developers dependant on users enjoying and promoting their apps - it is important that Facebook gets that balance as close to right as it can.

Re: Facebook Newsfeed Returns, No More Ratings

I did use the ratings feature, but was never too sure whether it had the effect of "down rating" stories from particular applications or particular users...

It was rather confusing for me - much more so than the "Hide this Story" issue you mentioned earlier today.

Perhaps that's just me?

I too have now got it. I'm in the UK and not in a "network".

I'm absolutely in favour of the new design. Much clearer, relevant and interesting content delivery.

GL - the Flickr link in your post is the URL twice so it don't work... (I've just cut the extra bit off, but thought you might want to know).

Rgds.

P.S. Love the spam protection on comments: "Sum of 7+9=?". Does it double up as moron protection too?!

Re: Zoho gets us ready for Office 2.0 conference

Hmmm...

"the most comprehensive database of collaborative work tools" you link to hasn't been updated for 13 months and advertises the 2007 conference...
