This is an unnecessary comment. Google is a company that need to pursue its business goals. The fact that Google has wrapped its business model around openness, usability, and free stuff puts it head and shoulders above most companies in terms of overall positive impact. You can't blame them for advancing their business, and I think you should actually applaud them for aligning their business goals with the interests of people who have no stake in the success business--the internet community at large. OpenSocial will blow Facebook platform out of the water in a year or so. That's how I call it. Facebook got too arrogant too early. They challenged and angered the biggest businesses on the web, the developers on the platform have no loyalty to them, and users are starting to become wary of the privacy implications of features like Beacon. No one wants to be locked into a platform, and locking users in is Facebook's only weapon. You should consider changing the name of your blog to something more general. “While Google’s current actions may be altruistic, I would argue that the reasoning behind Google’s actions are not.”

E-mail has been standardized in the 80's, before that you could only email people who are on the same network as you. The same will happen for social networks at some point and this might be a first step in that direction.. It's a good thing for everybody.. Lets hope the privacy issues are solved before everything is open and standard. While the actual implementation might not be that interesting, what it means is much more..

Put up or shut up. If you're getting the press you need to be able to take the criticism. “Version 0.5″, “in the process”

I call it a big load of “whatever.” Put up or shut up. If you’re getting the press you need to be able to take the criticism.
