So what differentiates 'social networking' from email? Anything besides making some/all connections/messages automatically public?

It's about matching an possible email to an actual email. But I don't think it would really make a difference as the same thing applies to email addresses in general.

My thinking would be to have the email/hash be the id, which enables people to have multiple profile's accessible from one account, use one email for friends, one for business, one for all those shady black hat things people do in their s

That seems like building an internet within the internet, which sounds like a lot of redundant work.

"Most of the current demographic will not understand Facebook's privacy settings." That's because they're intentionally byzantine.

What's the point of the id? Coordinating this across multiple providers seems like a big headache.

Here's something of an idea, don't know how feasible (social networks isn't my specialty): Each 'person' is identified by one or more email addresses. Each person has a network page, which can be hosted anywhere. Messages are sent via RESTf

"could be replaced with a cross-browser plug-in that exposes a unified API for accessing resources outside the browser (i.e. webcams, microphones, whatever Air does, etc.)" ...aka Flash?

I wonder if people end up liking reality TV shows because scripted dramas aren't f *ed up enough for them.

People, please keep in mind that HN is obviously not the target audience for this product. You can put the scathing criticism on the shelf and try to be constructive as to how it might look to the people who this does appeal to (and they

Wow, you have some serious distortion glasses on there. When did I say anything about original sin? And as for 'allowing' the Black Plague and human sacrifice to go on, that's an entirely different timeframe when the world wasn't globaliz

Sothey’s[sic]: While the other companies on this list hit zero briefly, Sotheby’s went in the other direction. After opening at $34.61, its shares briefly touched $100,000 before closing at $33. What is that about?

Oh I'm not complaining that trades are being canceled. My thing is that if it hadn't been an error, then I would have been in a good position by selling early. But since it seems to have been an error, then my selling early disqualifies m

They are representative of the state of the world in that we still allow them to go on. If you think your hands are clean in any of that, then you are sorely mistaken.

I didn't compare any of those examples to all of WW2, but rather you rour example of the 100k japanese interned during WW2. And despite that, suffering can't be gauged merely on the number of people killed. You said: "Have you seen any

It was the #1 iPhone app in numerous catgories shortly after it was released, probably where that statement is coming from.

Sucks to be me, I sold at the beginning of the drop, but outside of the range of canceled trades -- now it's over my sell price, so I lose money for being quick :(.

According to an article update, the applications weren't actually authorized and were showing up when they shouldn't have been (aka they weren't actually 'installed'). Not that that restore my faith in Facebook whatsoever. I never use face

Are you forgetting Darfur? North Korea? Iraq? Pervasive forced labor worldwide? Maybe you should study some recent history. The list goes on an on.

The core of the idea seems to be in section 2.3, while the remainder is about the implementation, as well as what comes from that. Definitely interesting and somewhat along the lines of what I was thinking of for a wild-eyed project of min

Your analogy doesn't match up: "About $7 billion of that came in the form of a straight-up, low-interest loan. And about $13 billion came in the form of an escrow account. So how has GM, which lost $38 billion in 2007 even as it sold 9.4 mi

Just to be clear, these are tests created and submitted by Microsoft themselves, so it's not so surprising that IE9 passes all of them as it otherwise might be.

AdBlock makes that site look so much better. In fact, their ad blocked layout is part of why I liked it -- now that I see what they meant it to look like, I'm less than impressed.
