Sure would have liked to see a direct response from Vivek on Andy’s comment above. Hope I didn’t miss something. This is a convenient tool, but at what price?? Far too often in this realm, tell a friend tools that require you to login with your email address and password are passed off as being normal and harmless…with the cavalier disclaimer of: “We do not store username and password”. I’m not a coder, but you need to do better than that.

The difference is that the Web brand delivers the visitors interest via a feed to any and all social networks the user has “mashed” into the widget set-up. In fact PhlooQ needs and plugs-into Facebook and/or Open Social. We LOVE FB and Open Social’s APIs and FriendFeeds!!

In addition, Publisher is feeding a link that pulls the visitor’s social graph from back to their property.

In addition, PhlooQ shows the user of the widget who is NEARBY that might be interested in attending the same event, venue, or location. PhlooQ shows the user of the widget their friends who are nearby and are likely interested.

PhlooQ then lets the Widget user click-2-call their friends, text their friends, or message their frinds in their native social graph a la Facebook notifications or such…

The product is not only scaling up well to support the large number of widget serves, which quickly ran into millions (thanks to Amazon EC2 and S3), but working well for hundreds of websites and blogs.

How is phlooq different from fb connect or opensocial friend connect?

Agree with earlier comments on tell a friend widget – requiring users to enter Yahoo/ Google/ MS account credentials is tough sell.

I love the giant octopus of integration points that allow users to disperse info practically anywhere! But in some ways this is exactly what the user wants to NOT do. They want their shares to happen in specific places, the same places, that they always share their info. They ant this to happen automatically–and they want the system to know where to disperse this info…

It is really an auxiliary experience to the real point of a why use these applications–what I really want to do is share my interests with my friends and draw them to the point or place of interest through me, by connecting to me.

The underlying feeling of the user is that they want to connect with people. Broadcasting interest is not really sharing. Sharing is co-operating in a context, within an experience.

Really what I want to do is align my interests (my sharing) with my trusted social graph ( pre-set) in specific modalities at specific times (the right time every time) in the right place (Location) .

Publishers want access to me after I leave their site and they want me to bring my social graph back to their site when I am there.

See what’s up over at phlooq.com to see a system that provides more value to users and to web publishers than the “broadcast” systems of Share This, Add This or Tell a Friend.

It’s never smart to trust a 3rd party with your username and password, particularly when you can’t see the URL of the 3rd party.

Hey Moo I very much agree with you. We need to stop the spamies!

I was thinking of doing a very nice campaign around it, where I will spread this word around the world but then thought of not going ahead with it as buying media over the TV and Radio was too expensive.
And JWT asked me a bomb just to make the Ad.
So contacting every one via the Internet seemed to be the best idea but then, I would be called a spammy who is asking people to stop sending messages that they think might be important for their friends.

Lets! All contribute to a common fund to pay JWT or, O&M to make a nice Ad film and buy media from CNN, Star, etc for 3 months, I am sure we will make a difference.

Phew! When marketeers all around the world are cutting on their budgets and looking for innovative and effective mechanisms to reach their consumer , this seems to be one of the best ways to do so.

I strongly believe “Content is the King”, and if it is good enough it will get the popularity and draw attention. Tell-a-Friend and every other similar tool/widget is a mere accessory to your online content which helps the good ones have the WOM through the viewers trusted communities.
