Hey thanks for sharing William. I agree that if folks have the brain power and the time to develop apps for Facebook, it will lead to significant social marketing opportunities. The challenge is that FB started with a walled garden and now the tools to take the social beyond the walls are limited to those with budgets (money, staff, time) to use it. While Google’s approach has been to create a tool that is easy for almost anyone with rudimentary knowledge to impliment it. It isn’t as slick, but one click to join and a few clicks to set up, I’m impressed.
As well, Google’s social tools have all been perceived as separate until now….. bringing together maps, photos, reviews, etc. is just the start.
Exciting development.

I agree with you that the Google approach is the way it should be. Open. And I also believe that an open environment will ultimately prevail. It always has on the web. But don't underestimate the gravity of Facebook. Facebook is for a lot of people their social base camp. You pointed out all the hidden places of a Google profile. How hard is it for Google to create a single space where everything related to your profile is easily accessible? They need to fix this. Facebook is also where everybody's friends are. It's the place where millions of people spent their time socializing. Extending this on third party websites makes more sense for a lot of businesses right now. The Red Bull implementation of it is a great example of the power of it. Not only can you filter by your friends on the site; you can also find what your friends have done in your News Feed. Friend Feed has the potential to get there as well but right now they're behind in that regards because they don't own the social home base. If I had to make a choice between Google and Facebook for HelloBC right now, I'd probably choose Facebook.
