Jeremiah Owyang on Web Strategy Predictions: Facebook, Identity, Social Networks.
Facebook will launch an Identity widget that I can embed on my blog. This allows only those who have registered to Facebook to leave a comment, many high profile blogs will do this, to avoid nasty anonymous comments, thus reducing the incident of Kathy Sierra type events. Dave Winer is right.
-The data collected from these widgets ables Facebook to erode the small marketshare that Attention trackers and MyBlogLog are creating.
-Facebook will have faster adoption that Open ID, as the consumer users will drive it. (Remember the mantra of consider joining before creating communities)
More about community groups and social networking, worth a read.
