- Farmer77, on 05/12/2008, -2/+67Good, now can Google do the world a favor and create an auctioning site to knock Ebay off their pedestal?
- ftrc, on 05/12/2008, -3/+32i would like to see it working
- nmaster64, on 05/12/2008, -9/+38Iz dat sum Web 3.0?
- Thorpe, on 05/12/2008, -2/+27The announcement from Google:
http://www.google.com/intl/en/press/annc/20080512_ ...
The website to look out for when it's up:
http://www.google.com/friendconnect - arunforce, on 05/12/2008, -0/+16I'll pretend that you meant Google could monopolize the web.
- peznex, on 05/12/2008, -2/+19KREBS
- JYoungest1, on 05/12/2008, -0/+12Porn just got alot more social
- Oronar, on 05/12/2008, -0/+9Ads? Who looks at ads anymore?
- Angus5, on 05/12/2008, -4/+13Finally! I'm ***** sick of MySpace. Hopefully this will slow it down.
- atcrawford, on 05/12/2008, -1/+7One of these days you will learn to lock your pc when you are away from your desk.
- PatrickX, on 05/13/2008, -0/+5This really isn't all that cool. It doesn't let you integrate your friends and information from different sites. It just lets you open an iframe with info from a different site, which is walled off from the rest of the page...
- TheG2, on 05/12/2008, -0/+5True, I use ABP but if I'm going to be advertised at, I at least want it to be relevant to me.
- TheG2, on 05/12/2008, -3/+9Oh no, ads for things I might actually be interested in? What has the world come to.
- Metasquares, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4I remember running across a Firefox plugin that was supposed to do this at one point. I don't think it ever took off, but then, this is Google we're talking about this time around.
- kweee, on 05/12/2008, -1/+6I think Digg should add this feature.
- bicyclethief, on 05/12/2008, -2/+6KREBS is a killing word.
- jsd8cc, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4"The fact that so many people were using Facebook made Google nervous," said Danny Sullivan, editor in chief of Searchengineland.com, an industry site. "They watched this site have explosive growth, and they don't have a competitive product."
Uh...ever heard of Orkut? - cmdrNacho, on 05/12/2008, -2/+6if opening a site in a iframe is impressive.. i have some cool things i can show you
- zspeed78, on 05/13/2008, -0/+3I think myspace is already slowing down.. most college kids stick to facebook, and after graduation they slow down on facebook as well. In reality most people do realize logging in everyday is a waste time. The concept of staying in touch online is fine.. but daily updates is just a time kill.
- skyshock1, on 05/12/2008, -0/+3I don't think this is meant to supplant MySpace, but rather expand it. Think YouTube comments EVERYWHERE on any site. Interesting concept, but I think what this will do is just keep perpetuating the fact that the Internet is full of retards.
- qwertydvorak, on 05/13/2008, -0/+3no, it is "Third Voice 2.0"
- maninalift, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2who dug hum down? show yourself.
- tamacurtis, on 05/12/2008, -6/+9Sounds like a great way to gain marketing research. How long before Big Corporate starts utilizing the data?
- MadOgre, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2I like it. I signed up to try it... if Google lets me. What's up with that?
- HanuMatrix, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2How did you work out that this enables anyone to become the next Mark Suckerberg? With you on the open... but you work for Google, right?
- sublime, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1Yes thank you, that's it! I was thinking it could possibly be 10 years old and it is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odigo_Messenger - qwertydvorak, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1i second the motion.
- inactive, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1numerical please.
- Aharoni, on 05/12/2008, -1/+3You're probably referring to Odigo, an Israeli start-up that was bought by Comverse (another Israeli hi-tech company). Five years after the purchase, on March 2007, it was shut down for good.
- Charklii, on 05/13/2008, -0/+2Want that in alphabetical order... or?
- monkeyrun, on 05/12/2008, -4/+5The end of dedicated "social-networking" sites as we know it? I hope so.
- inactive, on 05/12/2008, -2/+3That Krebs is a sexy beast.
- atcrawford, on 05/12/2008, -5/+7But I already have spyware that keeps up with the websites I track
- Aharoni, on 05/12/2008, -1/+2I always wondered why they wouldn't let other sites implement the Gtalk application they have on Gmail and add a few additional features such as "who is watching this page"... I honestly suspected that was the route Pounce would take to differentiate itself from the competition. Well, looks like the concept is finally coming to realization.
- daizaru, on 05/12/2008, -2/+3Did anyone find it peculiar that the first site to employ this is an artists myspace page?
- gcnaddict, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1This seems like MEDIUM... which I didn't like much.
- sublime, on 05/12/2008, -1/+3I cant remember the name of the software, but this same thing was done close to 8 years ago. You install some client software and you can chat and socialize with others who were visiting the same website as you.
- smartkuz, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1I hope enough people appreciate the humor in your comment...
- therpandrus, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1ha!
- shaund344, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1this is gonna be big...
- Tanath, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1They do have Google Base and Google Checkout, which is a start...
- Tanath, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1"Competitive product" not "competing product."
- tripston, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1All your sites are belong to Google
- Condemned, on 05/12/2008, -1/+2I don't think many people will be using this...
- rip747, on 05/12/2008, -1/+2this has been 100 times in the past. Some points: ever heard of Flock? Yeah it does it. Also if you're not the one to use a browser, you can sign up with Weblin (www.weblin.com).
- Anonymous3, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1I love the imagepicker thing
- gbhall, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Is this good or bad for developers who make social networking sites?
Good that they can create something unique, therefore their demand increases.
Bad that nobody will use their system as people cant be bothered to stop using a system that works across all sites... - dlite922, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Are you listening to yourself?
Personal Identity.....across all websites.
That's like saying I don't have to worry about giving out my credit card number because everybody already has it. - wiretapped, on 05/12/2008, -2/+3Like Gmail, its a great spy product.
- bxblox, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Why does it really matter? If you don't like myspace, why not just avoid the site?
