Mozilla To Build Social Networking Into FireFox: Bad News For Flock
Here is the comment I left on the article.
Well,
I haven’t completely made up my mind on this issue. I believe it will definitely be an enhancement to the social networking world. Sometimes I fill as if I am just plum sick of all this social network crap though. On the other hand I love some social networks. I don’t believe I could live without MySpace because it has helped me find a lot of childhood friends and missing family. What I try to do is be centralized. Just join up with two or three networks and if my friends really want to be ’social’ with me, then they will join the network I am on. If they don’t like it they just have to hack it. After all, this is ‘MYspace’ not ‘myFRIENDSspace.’ Take it from the name…stay in your own little ’space.’ IMHO…if friends are really true friends, then they will want to come where you are. What I am basically saying is….be the leader of your own life. Don’t let others lead you around by the nose. Now that’s hard for some people but ‘leadership’ is my type of personality.I seem to lean toward the opinion that FireFox needs to fix the memory issues before they go to adding a lot of stuff to it. Like some said, I don’t want this ‘Coop’ thing to be mandantory. Now I don’t mind if they have all the little options installed on the options box and maybe a checkbox that says ‘Enable The Coop.’ Notice that I said ‘LITTLE,’ that means….everywhere that you turn and look it doesn’t need to say ‘enter your MySpace ID,’ or ‘Sign up for The Coop.’
I say keep it in a nice centralized place and add the ability for users to turn in on and off. Most of all, DO NOT ‘COOP’ us up with monetizing ads!!!! We do not want to be little clickin’ chickens….so stay away from the idea of heavy monetizing!!!!!!
