Dale Larson:
You have a point. While Facebook is a generic social website – member websites are subject matter specific. Why would Govit.com – a member website which connects user with elected representatives – be interested in what somebody in general social activities.

P.Arora:
Great Suggestion.

Thanks

Great idea, but agree with Mr. Larson re the longer term.

Thanks for the post, I was wandering about Facebook Connect but didn’t have time to read through other blog post, this visual post made it easy to understand in minutes. Can you create one for Google’s Open Social?

How does this prevent spoofing though? How do I know that a site really is a Facebook Connect partner? Do I have to go to Facebook every time to find out?

“The problems is that each site requires registration… remembering each password is difficult”

That’s the least of my problems with the proliferation of sites as there are many tools to help me remember passwords. (Bringing unique identity to all sites is a nice problem to solve.)

Visiting each of these sites separately and not having connections between them is a much larger problem. Rather than having unified notions of “status” and “comment” and “post” or “story”, we have fragmented services that duplicate those functionalities in isolated pockets of our online lives.

Facebook connect kind of pulls other websites into Facebook, but because it is one-way, it isn’t a real fix. We need full two-way communications between these kinds of services to pull the islands together into a cohesive experience for users.

Then each service that has a means to post or display, for example, status, becomes a kind of front end to the larger connected service. I can choose the one(s) that best suit my needs and personality at the time. While the monitization is most likely to happen at the front end, this connection will grow the pie for everyone and fair competition on the merits (rather than simple entrenchment) will decide who the biggest winners are.
