Seems like a great opportunity for Google or Microsoft.

Seems like a great opportunity for Google or Microsoft.
- graue 14y agoIt'd make even more sense for Mozilla, given they're a nonprofit with promoting openness and innovation on the internet as their official purpose. But yeah, Google support, although it would compete with Google+, might not be as far-fetched as it seems. Google Talk and Facebook Chat both use the open, distributed XMPP protocol. In the same way, it would be great to see commercial services that get mass use built over Tent.
- mr_luc 14y agoIt would make sense for Google to cannibalize their social network, because G+ is more a defensive, strategic alternative to the existing social networks than anything else. Google would love for the walled-garden social networks to give way to open social networks -- closed social networks are probably the number one threat to their position as the center of the web.
