Google Points At WebFinger. Your Gmail Address Could Soon Be Your ID. - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
Mark Douglass, Jannifer @wordsforliving, Noah F and 72 other people liked this
"It’s taking something everyone knows on the web (your email address) and making it immensely more valuable as a way to identify yourself and information about you. Exactly what kind of information? Here are some of the ideas from the WebFinger Google Code page: * public profile data * pointer to identity provider (e.g. OpenID server) * a public key * other services used by that email address (e.g. Flickr, Picasa, Smugmug, Twitter, Facebook, and usernames for each) * a URL to an avatar * profile data (nickname, full name, etc) * whether the email address is also a JID, or explicitly declare that it’s NOT an email, and ONLY a JID, or any combination to disambiguate all the addresses that look like something@somewhere.com * or even a public declaration that the email address doesn’t have public metadata, but has a pointer to an endpoint that, provided authentication, will tell you some protected metadata, depending on who you authenticate as."

I don't want my contact information to be my identifier. I shouldn't have to give a website my email address, just like I shouldn't have to give a store my phone number.
- Daniel Sims
Daniel, I think it just takes the form of an email address, but does not in fact have to be one (or could be a "throw away" account).

It would be cool if we could get our act together (as an industry) and make this stuff happen. I'd also like to see ENUM deployed to the point that my phone number can be linked to my identity. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...)

This is a bad idea in so many ways I can't even begin to list them.
- April Russo (app103)
If a site wants my email address, it's probably in order to spam me. It's usually a bad sign. If legit sites ask for my email more, it will make it harder to identify the spammers.

- j1m
Does this mean I can have a .plan again?
- Benjamin Lee
Sounds like the .plan which is (again) accessed via an id in email format and returns different information/metadata about a person depending on who's accessing it. Email id is used to do a DNS lookup in order to discover URL for the XRD file (accessed with a HTTP GET) containing the metadata about the person being, er, WebFinger-ed.
- Nenad Nikolic
it is like user authenticating, having two three ids won't hurt ;) well i don't want to be identified, they are going same as gravatar
- testbeta
It's so curious to me that people have concerns that WebFinger would lead to more spam, and yet don't like the "format" of URLs for IDs. Personally, as far as OpenID is concerned, I don't care what the identifier looks like as long as people can remember it — typically email seems easier to recall than URLs (for most people in today's world).
- Chris Messina
Some users who have an email account with Google, myself included, have oodles of incoming mail both standard and secure so it fits the bill to increase security for both vendors and marketers.
- frank burns
I have no problem with the idea, but it seems to me that it won't help the current state of affairs much. The kind of information I'd be interested in sharing via Webfinger (my OpenID, a URL to a FOAF file, etc.) will have no better adoption, so the Webfinger configuration doesn't buy me much. I'll hold out hopes that after a couple tight integrations between Webfinger and OpenID providers (say if Google, Microsoft and/or Yahoo provided and consumed both) things will improve ... here's to hoping :(

There's not a lot of discussion about a friendfeed business model, generally, in the blogosphere, is there? I wonder why this is? Friendfeed continue to innovate and come up with great ideas and ways to receive, filter and digest information and it's clear that other sites copy their ideas. I am definitely not keen for FF to go mainstream - personally I like the fact that I can keep my circle of friends here to those (primarily tech/web) folks that I want to gather information from and interact with.

- TechFuga
I'm a big FF fan. It's an awesome service. The question I have is there a market for this as a sustainable standalone service?
- Jason Goldberg
FriendFeed is one on the online services I'd pay for. Effective aggregation of diverse social media feeds has both business and personal value. Such a service is only valuable if it integrates the feeds I want to see, not just one. Conversely, I would not pay for Facebook; its signal/noise ratio is far too low to be a useful aggregator, and appears to be evolving into an advertising platform.
- David Lounsbury
What Jason means is that "social" is a feature which will be integrated into everything. Friends, sharing, liking, commenting, etc will eventually find their into pretty-much every internet service, from writing documents through to video hosting. Google Reader is the first (but not only) example of this - and it may (and I emphasise "may", not "will") mean that friendfeed becomes redundant.
- Ian Betteridge
Your child has the most value after it has been potty trained and finished second grade. Do you sell it then?

This might hold water if Google Wave wasn't announced, or if you didn't listen to Bret Taylor at Crunchup.

It doesn't matter that you have the same features as someone else, in fact, that's to your benefit, because in the future, if you can't...

Another example of how flawed this line of thinking is: end of the 90s. Search was just a "feature" to larger portal sites. Guess who won? The one company that offered search as a service. The history of technology is littered with examples of winners who implemented one thing really well and losers who tried to do everything.
- Mark Trapp
I'm not convinced that Google Wave is going to be anything other than another walled garden, to be honest. But I don't think your argument really holds water, Mark. I remember not that long ago site owners who didn't want comments on content, and who argued that users' comments should be confined to linked-to forums - for exactly the same reasons you're outlining. Sharing, liking,...

I think Mr. Goldberg could be on the money here. "Look, FF is an awesome service with a great early-adopter tech-savvy loyal userbase. But what does that get FF? Would someone acquire FF today for the userbase or the technology?" Nope, but maybe for the talented engineers. ;)

Robert - Have been busy with 'new stuff' and just revisiting this. The argument is that there isn't any (argument). Of all the SERVICES I've used over the years, Friendfeed has been BY FAR the most innovative, productive (and/or fun). I'm not goin' anywhere and the more I think about it, the more I find it sad that they felt the need to sell at this juncture (although I can understand it). Count me among the many that hopes it stays right here.

For sure, Google Reader has likes and comments, you can share (reshare) whatever you see in your feeds to your followers and there are groups (well can you view by group though?) but there are no DMs and I'm finding the Comment View very chaotic and annoying, for example, I have to expand the post every time (would prefer at least a bigger preview of the post). What the comments system needs, for me, is AJ's very cool commenting highlighting that is on Cleaner FriendFeed. That helps my FF experience hugely. There is no duplicate detector either and lifestreaming is perhaps not the best. What do you think? #alternativetoFF

I'd agree with all of those; they also need to clean up the management of your friends / contacts / groups / etc. The way that stuff interacts with GMail Contacts is still rather chaotic and confusing.
- Tristan Seligmann
S.D. built in Gtalk support would be useful or simply made easy to 'DM' followerrs but perhaps this should be toggleable for each user.
- Kol Tregaskes
A cleaner social interface, so I can manage my contacts, etc. as Tristan said.
- phil baumann
The People You Follow view doesn't have to be the exact same as the Subscriptions view. If that interface could be tweaked to be a bit more socially-conducive, that may help.
- phil baumann
I would like to see my friend's friends.
- Damond Nollan
Agreed. Comment view is a mess. If they could get that cleaned up it would be a nice replacement. gTalk integration would be very cool. I have been adding more and more people to my Google Contacts thanks to Google Voice so it makes a lot of sense to have that contact list be my primary list for friends. That makes GR a particularly interesting FF replacement to me.
- Sean Brady
better comments and grouping of friends...need a lot of work
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
Dobromir, what is the issue with groups? I don't use but curious.
- Damond Nollan
I do agree the comments could be better. I notice that in some cases, they are above the story and in others they are below. I wonder if Google is playing with comments now.
- Damond Nollan
Google's in bed with the CIA collecting your personal data to eventually use against you.

Some are saying Google Reader is almost a Twitter client even - http://www.educer.org/2009...

I think that post is farrrrrrrr behind the ball with feedly already doing as much, however I see Greader becoming much more like friendfeed with its new social capabilities
- sofarsoShawn
Agree, it's definitely looking more like FF.
- phil baumann
@damond there are nonexistent :-) [friends grouping I mean]
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
GReader needs a My discussions that only focuses on articles I've Starred, Shared, Liked or Emailed. If someone shares an article I've already read, I don't not want it to resurface. I still say Filtering is needed as well. I may want to auto-hide certain keywords. In Peoples Shared items, I may want to filter a certain RSS feed that they like but has nothing to do with me. Basically they need a way to cut some of the noise down.

@Dobromir You can group friends in the contact manager, and decide which groups can comment on yr shared items (odd functionality that I don't see a use for). But yr right, no way right now to group the list of "People you follow"
- Chuck Falzone
Import feeds to shared items (e.g. my own twitter feed, my own delicious bookmarks, etc.); add GReader shared item feeds as "people you follow" instead of regular subscription; overhaul public shared items page - allow folks to comment on items from right there, provide a blurb and a link instead of entire shared item; a tool to find contacts from FF/FB/Twitter who are sharing and...

I dont think I COULD use any one service as a replacement for friendfeed, so the only thing google reader could do for me there would be to BECOME friendfeed. Then someone else would have to be Google Reader because, just like with facebook - I use it and friendfeed in different ways already
- Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane
Does commenting put the article back into the unread portion of the feed? I feel like the comments get lost. You need visit comment vie to see if an article received additional comments. This makes it difficult to have a conversation about the article
- Fraser Thompson
I may have missed it above but there is duplicate detection, you will see when multiple friends share the same feed item. I agree with the others on the Comment UI (hard to read, can't tell what you've already read, not sure it's scalable with separate threads on the same item, etc), and Contact management.
- LogEx
I agree with Kol on GReader. Their is potential there, however after having the FF experience it falls far short of what I've grown to expect and want when sharing and commenting on things.
- Bluesun 2600
Damond, you need to use groups if you want your followers to comment on your shares. If there are not in any group they cannot comment.
- Kol Tregaskes
LE,, does the dup detector work in the RSS feeds? And from one folder to another?
- Kol Tregaskes
I notice the dupe detection mainly when I'm viewing All Items, or the aggregate People You Follow.
- LogEx
I think that greader needs groups like here at FF. Some way for articles to share comments with those not being followed by yourself already. Making discovery easier, and discussions more dynamic.
- Bluesun 2600
Groups are there but you cannot view by group yeah. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
Can you filter on GReader like we can with FF's saved searches?
- Kol Tregaskes
How about a vanity search on GReader comments?
- Kol Tregaskes
I'm reasonably optimistic... the speed of recent changes indicates to me that the @googlereader team recognizes the opportunity created by FriendFeed's uncertain future and is geared up to make improvements. I don't think it would be a FF on its own, but integrated better with some other Google services it could become quite powerful.
- LogEx
Are there any timestamps on comments?
- Kol Tregaskes
I really wish I didn't need to expand the article in Comments View to show the share/like line. Pointless.
- Kol Tregaskes
One thing I like about the Comment view is that, unlike FriendFeed, is shows more comments before and after the expand link. I wish FF would show at least 2 comments at the bottom of threads. 3 ideally.
- Kol Tregaskes
Yes GReader needs a "My Discussions" page. And real-time Comments view.
- Kol Tregaskes
Kol, you should do a radio show or something and explain all of this... ;-)
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
I rather just blog about it. ;-) Maybe that'll be my first post here: http://ff.im/6DiAr
- Kol Tregaskes
I would make it work like Friendfeed

Google Reader is dreadfully slow for mr because I have 1,000+ friends.
- Robert Scoble

1. As all you guys said, the comment system is too bad: hard to read, hard to update, limited to only your friends. 2.The contents you read are based on random shared items by people you follow rather than on a theme (like ff groups do). This would make me overloaded by irrelevant information. 3. google reader is way far from real-time, e. g. for a subscription of a twitter RSS feed, the lag is significantly noticeable and timestamps in greader are wrong.

needs a better visual interface. as it currently is, its too 'busy'
- George Hall (Australia)
from BuddyFeed
They are two totally different things. I don't see how one could replace the other
- Chris Johnston
the fact that what you read is in a frame. Unlike with Friendfeed when one scrolls down the header remains {Gmail, Agenda, ...} which, for me on the netbook or even the 15" screen laptop I use leaves even less room for the news themselves.
- lelapin
open, open, open.. currently you have to be in reader to access comments, likes. etc you ONLY get your friends comments, comments don't appear in your shared feed, there is no API, and you can't embed your content (posts, groups or user summary) back on your blog/site to get a single source for comments etc.. oh yeah and the search sucks (compared to friendfeed), you can't search comments. They seem more like a quick "hack-on" instead of an integrated solution!!
- Chris Myles
We need permalinks for our notes, comments and shared items. That's about it :)
- Svartling
See this image that explains how to use Google Reader as friendfeed: http://pingmicro.com/this-im...
- Svartling
svartling.. sorry but I have to strongly disagree!! Yes it *looks* like they have the same functionality.. but it's the subtle differences and lack of flexibility/api that kill it for me!! Maybe if you combined reader with GFC (or Wave) and search you might start. For example.. I'm on a site and I want to see if there is already any activity (comments etc) that I can join in on.. with...

- Chris Myles
Yes I miss the embed features too. They are really cool. The other things you are talking about I had never used.
- Svartling
Not only are they cool, they are VERY powerful!! I protyped a more flexible Google Friend Connect (GFC) clone in a half a day using post embeds (via the API) and groups.
- Chris Myles
Sounds interesting.
- Svartling
Well, the comments sync with blogs is my word
