[...] Mike over at TechCrunch has a much better look at TechCrunch than my brief first glance. Mike concludes with, IMO, the most significant thing about PA — they support open identity standards (among other open standards) so they win loyal users through trust instead of “lock-in”. I remember hearing Marc pitch the value of data portability at Gnomedex last year so I know shipping PA is is a big milestone for him and his team. [...]

“…password protection is scheduled to be removed Wednesday around noon Pacific time.”

I wonder if “around noon” means “hours around noon”, “days around noon”, or maybe it’s a geological allegory?

i wont waste space speculating on the peepagg target market(s) and biz plan.

my first impression of the actual UI was “It’s like web 2.0 happened in the 90’s”

my opinion of the concept is mixed. if done correctly, it could be a useful tool for organizations and interest groups… emphasis being on the “create a network” feature and the open source self-hosting option.
its definately a good exercise for a first (second?) incarnation.

bugs and poor UI aside, i think PA will have some moderate success (of course dependent on how quickly they can provide a stable product) but the from a broader perspective i would ask everyone to refresh and define what online social networking trully is. then, look at the plethora of tools and services that can provide you with what you NEED.

the web itself…. the blogosphere itself…. is a social network.
Google is too…. been to gmail lately? member of a google group?

if PA is truly for geek-minded people…. then why wouldnt these people just install a blog and use social networking plugins for a loose version of what apparently PA offers.

my typical experience with SN often result in ‘people spam’. my successes are with interest groups/mailing lists.

a friend (mmeiser.com) summed up my PA criticisms yesterday by simply saying ”

“Networking for networking’s sake is simply pointless.”

But PA DOES allow you to make a network for your specific purposes.
But how unique is that, really? Is it enough to make this project succeed?
Why not install Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla etc instead of PeepAgg?
Where is the blatant benefit here? I’m willing to get taught, but…..

I think the idea of a single web identity that can be shared through an open standard is one whose time has come. I would like to see this effort combined with that from Identity 2.0. It would be the concept of having a single .net login / identity, but it would actually have some meaning since it also would be tied up with the social networking activity that is definitely gaining traction these days.

For all of those comments above that complain that people don’t care about open standards, you’re missing the point. It doesn’t matter if people care about the WORDS ‘open standards’, but more if people are going to care if their social network connections belong to themselves or to some company like LinkedIn or MySpace. AND… with the fickle nature of trends (which something like MySpace could arguably be), I think the appeal of being able to uproot when you’ve outgrown this social hub ‘neighborhood’ could be quite appealing to anyone as long as it was marketed properly. Time will tell…

These myspace or facebook and others will not open up until users demand the plasticity in porting and transfering their data/id over to other site. Just like credit card co. do now.

It will happen but not that soon
