The difference between Facebook Connect and Microsoft Passport (now Windows Live ID) is reputation. With Facebook Connect you may be able to see that Bob friends with Jane, and since Jane is a good person to deal with then Bob is probably not too bad either. Social Networking + Payments is a killer combination if you can get people to participate.
- thwarted 18y agoIf the average distance on the social graph between any two people is on the other of 6, 8 or even something larger like 20, is social graph distance a good predictor? Additionally, the prediction quality is lessened when people are not very discriminating in who they link up with, or all edges on the graph have the same weight or can not be tagged with useful, meaningful metadata. Who's going to spend the time to provide that metadata anyway? Wasn't there some research a while ago that showed that six-degrees of separation is more true than is intuitively not?
