I think you are right in that the comfort and familiarity will aid in quicker adoption of these new techniques and technology. Yeah, I think you are right about the early stages of both FC and GFC. I am curious to see how they take off like Twitter did once they are developed and widely adopted. Thanks for the great thoughts. Hmm, I think you make a lot of valid points there.

Yeah, I think you are right about the early stages of both FC and GFC. I am curious to see how they take off like Twitter did once they are developed and widely adopted.

Thanks for the great thoughts.

One of the values that I see with these platforms is that providing a sense of community through familiarity. One of the major challenges that I've faced is website users to get to a point of comfort before looking to fully utilize the website. I think FC and GFC gives the ability to jump start an experience and gives new users a sense of comfort. This is further enhanced when you "have friends" on sites you go to. Then there is a greater propensity for that person to remember and interact with that site. That's just one basic element, but I do think that it's the future of the interaction of information. I find myself spending less time on individual sites and more time on Facebook as more and more information (including the greater use of Twitter integration not to mention the new Facebook layout) intersects with it. Google will head in the same direction. I can even see greater integration with GFC and Google Reader, that would be interesting! I'm already finding myself enjoying FC on my iPhone and sharing information faster and having more conversations about that information. Also, FC and GFC is kinda like the introduction of Twitter where we'll find the value as it's further developed and adopted. What do you think?

I am still a fence-rider when it comes to Facebook Connect and Google Friend Connect. What do you think they do that really enhances your website or blog? I have seen them used on a few websites and I think the biggest advantage is that people can carry on a conversation outside of the individual blog posts. Not much more, though. I look forward to your thoughts. Hmm, my question is this: is it really that difficult to maintain my identity across different platforms and websites?
