Re: On Social Apps, Trying Again

Jake,

You propose a question below...and I would like to know which road you are taking? Or maybe both?

"Either bring the stuff I want/need to do into the network (the Facebook platform approach), or add the network features to the stuff I want/need to do."

I believe that a social network in the Enteprise will be the glue that pulls all of the social apps together in one place, centered around the user. However, each social app should still be able to stand on it's own two feet without the social network.

The social network actually adds value to the social apps by linking them together (from the perspective of the user) and also distributing their content throughout the network. You could potentially have a bunch of social apps without a social network, but they wouldn't be as effective.

Thoughts?

Adam

I second the request for full articles in the RSS feed...

I would also like more updates on the status of AppsLab projects, especially Connect and IdeaFactory.

Thanks,

Adam

Re: Facebook Gets Its Share of Spam

I put a bunch of listings up on the marketplace (tv, car, etc.)...and I was surprised when I got a ton of spam responses to my listings. The messages were all people who wanted you to follow up with them on a yahoo account, most likely because they don't have a 'real' facebook account. I reported them to Facebook, but was very dissapointed that there were 'fake' people on Facebook, like what happened with MySpace. I think that Facebook should try to do a better job at verifying identity before opening an account up. That will prevent a lot of the spammers from getting onto the system.
