building the open web one bit at a time

And a Maka-Maka to you

The best part of not being disclosed on some upcoming Google social network is that you can wildly speculate without breaking any sort of covenant.

So I have no idea what Maka-Maka is - but it sounds totally coolio!

The challenge of Google’s open APIs for social networking is that no one uses Orkut anymore. But hey - start a NEW social network and they’ll all come - right? Well that’s what Yahoo is trying.

But will it work for Google?

Sure if you have a whole suite of productivity apps - which have opened up and are “bringing social to software!

This whole “social graph” operating system strata idea is taking hold.

I can’t wait!

  13. If you’re talking about professional baseball, none.

    The Big League World Series does have teams from all over the world, however. I know this because all the teams stay at my college during the tournament.
