By 2014, Facebook will BE the distributed protocol.
If Facebook pushes a truly distributed protocol, then I have no issue with that. I'll build a set of hooks for Appleseed to support that protocol, and I'm sure the other projects will do the same.
Look how many sites already use Facebook as their primary (or only) source of login.
That's not a distributed protocol, when you're dealing with a centralized login.
just because other things have gone open doesn't mean that social networking will, and definitely not in the next 3-4 years
Would you like to cast a wager on that? In all seriousness. I'll bet you $1 that by 2015, Facebook is either facing, or has faced, a major challenge from open standards in the social networking space.
- ryanwaggoner 16y agoI don't mean "distributed protocol" in the same sense that you do. A post ago, you said they would use an open distributed protocol by 2013/2014, but now they'll just have to be facing a "major challenge" from one by 2015? You should post a challenge on longbets.org.
- michaelchisari 16y agoI don't mean "distributed protocol" in the same sense that you do. What do you mean, then? Facebook's graph api is definitely not distributed, it's very centralized. now they'll just have to be facing a "major challenge" from one by 2015? I'll gladly take the wager that they'll be using an open, distributed protocol by 2013/2014. How about this, $2 for that, $1 for a major challenge by 2015.
