It sounds like Facebook Connect/open graph, where you can Like something on a third party domain, or read something, etc. Is it just saying "You will now have an activity feed for all your likes, etc on third party websites on your timeline"? The 9/22 F8 date seems to suggest that.
But HN is a lot more skeptical than I am. Are you just worried that it may mean different things in the future? What's the deal?
It also sounds like "Don't try this, Google. It's my turf"
