Hey!

We've opened up a group to discuss the future development of the application - would bve great to have anyone interested in developing it further on the group!

Great post indeed! I got a lot of thoughts out of it. I think that one thing that you touched upon and that some of the commenters discussed which I think would be a great way of doing this is through endorsements.

I think that for me, and most of the people in my age (20-30) at least, we like to endorse products and talk about them to our friends. It's almost second nature + it gives social status to be able to recommend the best and the greatest to your friends. If facebook could give me a serving of a number of chosen ads based on my profile (or even my friends' profiles) and I could choose which ads I'd like to be displayed when around my profile - this would in essence be an active endorsement of that company. The same could go, through say active voting or popularity selections, on networks (say my campus network prefers computer software ads - well then we have that).

Since it's the users producing the content - shouldn't it be the users selecting the ads?

Hey!

Would be great to give it a try. Could you send me an invitation?

Thanks,
Linus

Hi!

Do you use video telephony? Has the adoption been big where you are? Here we've had it working fine for about 3-4 years and NOBODY I know is using it. I've got one videocall in the last year.. The only people actively using it whom I've met are deaf, because it enables them to use cellphones (sign language over 3g works poorly, but at least it works).

Then again, a lot of people have been paying quite a hihg premium for apple products, just hope that they'll have a good deal when it hits europe!

Thanks for an interesting blog btw - been reading it through RSS for a while!
