Re: Facebook Social Plugins
#3So - I watched the keynote (http://apps.facebook.com/feightlive/) and I have a few questions.
If I like a movie on IMDB am I liking the movie itself or just that particular movie's page on IMDB? (see video at 23:28) I would assume I am liking the movie, but it's unclear. Does this mean that IMDB now controls all movies on Facebook, or can I like it on flixster as well? If I like it on Flixster will it be represented separately on Facebook than when I liked it on IMDB?
This get's even more confusing when you introduce real people. For instance, if I like Toby Gerhart on ESPN am I liking him or ESPN (See video at 25:00). The status update Bret shows on a slide after liking Toby shows a status update coming from Toby Gerhart himself. What if Toby does not have a Facebookpage?
This seems very cool - but it seems like there are a lot of holes. Maybe I dont fully understand it. Can anyone clarify?

#6I'm not sure how I feel about content being tailored based on my social graph's likes. In some cases it could be good, in others not so much. My friends list on facebook has enough of people from my small town high school days thanks to our upcoming 10 year reunion, and believe me -- we have nothing in common. Maybe I'm being cynical but I loved the internet when you sought new and exciting things without the group think.

#7Already pinged one of my clients about integrating this into their online store. I think this looks awesome.
What I think this will allow us to do:
On each product page there will be a Like button (if you're logged into FB), which users will use accordingly. Then when a new user comes to the site they'll be able to browse all the products their friends have liked.
Privacy concerns aside, this is going to be great for business.

I was just talking about this with my friends. It really needs to integrate with friend lists in some way. Ideally, there would be a way to "devalue" a friend so their activity isn't as highly valued as other friends you have. Even more ideally, this information could be filtered automatically through a learning algorithm that increases the value of recommendations from friends you match closely. That would avoid a UI nightmare of trying to get everyone on Facebook to basically rank their friends in terms of value of their opinions.

Thanks - that explains it well. As I understand it, anyone can set up objects for anything now and be the "voice" of that object. Seems crazy after all the trouble Facebook had with unofficial facebook pages.

#10I think it's time for me to start running Facebook in a separate browser session. I'm sick of trying to keep track of the moving target of what Facebook will and won't leak to other sites.
