Comments on: Yet Another Social Network? Oreilly Connection http://netzooid.com/blog/2005/08/02/yet-another-social-network-oreilly-connection/ gettin all zoidal on ya Sat, 24 Jul 2010 09:48:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Tony Stubblebine http://netzooid.com/blog/2005/08/02/yet-another-social-network-oreilly-connection/comment-page-1/#comment-53 Tony Stubblebine Wed, 24 Aug 2005 22:46:10 +0000 #comment-53 Hey, Thanks for the feedback on OC. You're the first person to mention how cool it would be to work with cell phones. That's an awesome idea. As for varying degrees of trust, I agree and am hoping to have a new level up in a few weeks. One of the cool features that we already have, and are constantly improving, is aggregation of someone's tech activity. Right now we've got personal blogs, O'Reilly articles and weblogs, comments on O'Reilly articles and weblogs, and CodeZoo user tips. An important trust measurement is "so-and-so says amazingly important things but doesn't have any idea who I am." We want users to be able to create and share watch lists of their favorite authors/programmers. Our vision for making this a successful social network is to have the social network fade into the background as a feature that merely enables other more useful activity. Hey,

It looks like Connection is maintained by Tony Stubblebine and Nancy Abila. The thing I like about Connection already is the fact that I can go get the FOAF data and do something like <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/timobrien" rel="nofollow">these graphviz graphs</a>, try doing that with LinkedIn or Friendster. I'd like to see O'Reilly merge Connection with the DOAP feeds from CodeZoo. Actually I'd like to see someone figure out how to crawl the ASF svn repository and spit out DOAP files. Blah, hey thanks for XFire. I’ve found O’Reilly people very receptive to ideas. It looks like Connection is maintained by Tony Stubblebine and Nancy Abila.
