Making the blog work 2.0






Making the blog work 2.0

Finally I beginning to see sense in revive my blog again - clean slate - everything deleted and start again. The reason for the reset and the restart of something that haven't been posted anything on for 2 years? Well I just realised how well connected the different social medias are. I can import info from digg, delicious, last.fm, youtube, twitter and this, my blog to my facebook profile. The seemingly randomised yelling on different social medias is beginning to take a more standardised form, or you can say that there is a shaped a form in the way you can use your information in a structured way. You can make all your media point one way, instead of a lot of different ways. 

Actually I am writing this blog in docs.google.com - which will publish the content to my blogger account. Another example of how the media works for you. This will increase dramatically in the near future. Right now there is an information war going on. The battlefield is new and old communicators, the aggregators of information. Newspapers and news sites are implementing the different kinds of profiles, and you can use the profiles to either comment on the content, or to use the content on one of your social media sites. There are three of the logins that I think will be the runner ups for the most attention on the net right now. Facebook Connect http://tinyurl.com/6kpcsm, which is Facebooks take on a login. The Google Friend Connect http://tinyurl.com/6hogds that is googles response and finally Open ID http://openid.net/ - which is an open source approach to a online identity. 

The implications of the ID (or IDS) you chose to communicate to the world goes well beyond "just" posting entries from newspapers to your profile on either FB or Google. You have a possibility to make an ID for each of the media or social sites that you use. And that ID is in is core identical, but only from you view. This means that if you log onto a social network page - lets just call it www.socialnetworkx.com - the profile and the way you react on this page could be completely different from how you react on, say, your FB profile, even if its the same ID you use. This is a natural development for social medias. The way I perceive FB today, is it has turned into a shouting contest, it has even moved well beyond the narcissistic page it were just a year ago. Personally it went from a few friends and some networking, to that I have everyone - everyone on FB - coworkers - family (even my mother) all friends, all old school buddys, every single girl I've kissed. The content that I put out there has now turned into innocent nothing. I don't want to be fired, I don't want to upset my family and I don't want to tell my exes about my current love life. But with the IDs - I have a possibility to return to the narcissisme, no one but me know that the ID i use on other social pages are the same as my FB profile. The shouting stops - the talking begins - welcome to social media 2.0

And as you can see - I've just put a facebook badge onto my blogger page. The quick user would also see that you can use the OpenID and/or Blogger ID on the "leave your comment" funcktion on this wonderful page..
