Wow!
This is a major move.
In a simultaneous attack on fb and linkedin.
The fight for the "profile" page is on.
It is like the internet revolution all over again, but for the masses. Most people with any sense in them already have a ~uname/ somewhere and //that// is their profile. But for "monsieur tout le monde" it is too complicated to order hosting and install wordpress on it.
This is why everyone absolutely //loves// facebook -- because suddenly they can heave their "own website". Sure its just a wall and mostly used for other people to spy on you, but you can spy on them too so isn't it a great deal?
This seems like a sure flop to me because it is essentially an escalation of rights from knowing my email address to knowing a bunch of other things about me. Not cool.
On a different note, it is funny to see Google try something and fail... we have gotten used to their superpower, maybe they are not so strong after all. Has the Goliath gotten slow?
