Web Wednesday :: Facebook Connect

I’ve decided that I’m going to figure out this Facebook Connect thing that seems to be gaining ground. I feel a little late to the party on this one, but better late than never.

At any rate I’ve installed the Facebook Connect WordPress Plugin and I’m giving it a go. It’s not integrated into my comments because I’m using Intense Debate, but from what I’ve read I’ll have it soon.

I’ll admit I don’t know much about Facebook Connect, but I’m determined to figure out how to fully integrate it so that everyone I work with can start to benefit from there Facebook Friends. (in a way i feel bad for myspace cause they are falling so far behind so fast, but really I’ll pull the trigger if you give the shotgun…)

So if any of you out there have some hot tips feel free to drop them off, and I’ll be sure to check back with all that I find.

Too Social

I think we can all agree that FaceBook is way cooler than MySpace and there is quite possibly a good use to it. In fact I actually use FaceBook where as MySpace has never really been a thing for me.

There was always too much stuff everywhere and it just seemed easier to email than login. FaceBook on the other hand is really only a few steps ahead of MySpace and it’s only a little bit better.

Reality seems to be this. Most people are treating FaceBook just like they treated MySpace, and now have way to many things coming through to keep track of. People here and People there, and “oh my gosh that chick from HS, ah Crap! I’m not talking to that person…” Ignore

Have you let your FaceBook become another overly social attempt to stay connected with every person that you’ve ever known? So hey, if you find me on FaceBook and I ignore you, don’t take it personal. I’m just keeping things under control.

(and don’t you find it interesting that myspace has coined a description much like nintendo did back in the late 80′s)

Im now on FaceBook

I’m now on Facebook, yeah that’s right I’ve joined the masses with the networking gig… Oh and not to mention I’m also on Ning….

I don’t really have a good answer for why, I just decided that if I’m going to be in the business of Web2.0 I’d better have my hand in all the areas the web is offering right now. I really don’t have a huge opinion on FaceBook. I will say that of all the online apps I think FaceBook seems to have a good corner in the market. Just the fact that they allow third party apps to be added to their interface is huge. It gives the control back to the users and offers them the ability to make their network better or worse.

I am also in Ning. The only reason I’m in this online app is to have a hold on some of the existing apps out there. I don’t really know much about this one, but its your standard Networking tool and community portal. Honestly I’m only into Ning because I’ve heard that people consider it to be a blogging platform worth using for artists online presence.)
