    • Google News Launches Facebook App

      Posted by Jeff from googlesystem.blogspot.com

      Google realized that it has ignored the social space for too long and that its services could be more useful if they had a social touch. After launching a site for sharing web pages with your friends and adding profiles to Google Maps, Google should integrate the sharing platform with other Google sites and unify the profiles across all Google services. To test the waters for a social news site, Google launched a Facebook app for Google News.

    Social Networking’s Next Phase

    Ah. Makes sense. I agree. Open ID is a good first step—it will be interesting to see if the technology for profile sharing actually gets much adoption—there is so much incentive for the big guys to try to maintain their silos.

    Jon, By federated – I mean too many sites wanting people to register and set up profiles in their isolated universes… it can’t scale. Open profiles are the key.

    I Bought Votes on Digg

    From TechCrunch Digg Should Sue Wired:

    Digg can't treat Wired like any other user that's engaged in fraud. Wired is the press, and the press has tremendous power. Wired is putting Digg in an impossible situation, and they should be called on it. Reporting news is one thing (although they should note the conflict of interest there as well), but actively creating negative news about a competitor and then using the massive reach of Wired to promote that 'news' is way over the line.
