Strange mood this morning.
last night I was trying to figure out the future of RSS-READER in this new social feed aggregation.
many social service are crossing the line between their primary objective "social connectivity" to a content mash up, feed aggregation.
ex:
1)FriendFeed feed aggregation.
2)Facebook feed aggregation.
now what will happen?
you will open rarely open your typical RSS-Reader, because you will consume your subscribed feed in your favorite social website .
the situation is even more critic for RSS-Reader, because they lake in this "social interactivity" that offer those service.
you will prefer to read the feed and people comment on, rather the to read an obsolete feed.
this is the trend, people enjoy reading what other read.
now GReader have done some steps in this direction :
1) Feed sharing via "share" or "share with a note".
2) Comment on Feed. .
those 2 feature are offered in order to increase interactivity, but the point that GReader are missing is :
1) people want to share even with non-friend, even with a simple follower.
2) people want to share their comment, feed with people that aren't GReader users.
are GReader effort to bring "sociability" effective?
the answer may be No.
so what is the solution?
GReader have to open the door for developer to bring a new ways and innovate in term of feed consumption.
until then here is a suggestion to GReader :
Trend Sharing.
one of the hidden golden mine of GReader is this ability to mine million of feed, they do when they offer a user a detailed description about a feed in term of statistic.
GReader can answer those question :
1)what blog is the most shared ?
2)what feed is the most commented?

will google buy twitter, my african point of view.
this morning I come up this post dear europe how would you feel about google buying, in this post the author asked a question :
1) if google buy twitter then this may be a proof that a big company can make the same error twice, remember google acquired Jaiku, some have to ask what Return on investment google made in the Jaiku case.
2) will twitter accept google offer? (is twitter for sell)?
then the answer is NO, and here is an element that may support this reasoning, twitter raise for fund (read here), may be at the first stage of twitter the monetizing schema was "build to sell" or "acquisition model" as suggest this article.
twitter isn't for sale, it is a common sense, reasoning, why selling when you are able to get money keeping the company yours. with the stepping in fund raising twitter show the desire to grow by it mean, to grow to a stand of A corporation.
is facebook for sale?!!
is myspace for sale?!!
the same applied here.
now regarding the fact that google may acquire twitter, I think that there is some action (strategic one ) made by google leader that can inform us about the futur decision.
the case of Open Social Fundation , to face the monopole that may cause the growth facebook google decision was to open the door of the social universe to a large audience to a large community of developer to make open, and free.
it is a simple thinking :
if you can't monopolize a domain, open it to other in order to make the emergence of a dominant a no chance.
of course the fruit the result of such strategic decision aren't a short term one, they will be in a long term, facebook is growing for now but there will be an end some day.
so using the same strategic decision, google will help and grow the open micro-blogging, rather then buying Twitter , and there are some element that may argument this reasoning :
1) making Jaiku open source, and easy migrating it to Google App Engine
2) the future enhancement to GAP read this .
to resume google will not buy twitter, but what about Microsoft ;).
What do you think? Could this be good? Will it be bad? How do you feel about it and what do you think it might mean?so here is my answer :
1) if google buy twitter then this may be a proof that a big company can make the same error twice, remember google acquired Jaiku, some have to ask what Return on investment google made in the Jaiku case.
2) will twitter accept google offer? (is twitter for sell)?

Asking too much.
This morning I was as usual looking for the next marvelous google idea. the next Gmail-ish innovation, but none.
when we are a leader in a domain, when we have all the monopol on a domain people tend to be desapointed when sometime we suffer from the white paper syndrom.
the lake of innovation go in pair with Saturation.
what could be the next surprising Google Innovation?
1)email!!
2)online coolaboration?
3)photo-sharing
4)code hosting?
5)social media?
people are so fascinated but what google have done before that they are always starving for more.
but no one wear their shoes.
so let try to imagine the next "must have" "must be in" "must test" wonderfull google expiriment?
what about this so called social-graph?

Google ventures and the Lazy disclaimer
Today as usual reading some feed I come up on this : Official Google Blog: Google's newest venture article, I enjoyed the initiative really, other company have to do the same.
when big company think small the innovation come in the process, the Y combinator is a great example on how fund can help startup.
I wish such that such initiative could be applied to my region (algeria), but for the moment it isn't the case, so you can understand my frustration.
But this isn't the subject of my post here.
so as I said above, reading about googles newest venture I take a tour to the designed web site http://www.google.com/ventures/ here are some quote from this website:
the above quote is from the home page, it sound great is sound good, full of promise etc etc..
the above quote suggest this :
1)Google Ventures seeks to discover and grow great companies.
2)helping young companies grow from the garage to global relevance.
3)experience and creativity constitute perhaps our own most valuable resource.
so Google venture is there to discover, to grow companies even if they are at the earlier stage let stay at the IDEA stage.
Now let take a tour to the contact page :
a)However, please do not send us information that you consider to be confidential or proprietary.
b) and because these materials are often similar, because they come to us in a variety of forms.
c)and because we read a ton of stuff, we cannot and do not accept responsibility for protecting against the misuse or disclosure of any information unless we have expressly agreed (in writing) to do so.
how could some one pitch for his company being vague?!! how could some one argue in favor of his company if he can't make his company stand special by bringing out the UPS of his company?!!
the statement a) is irrealistic.
now b) is really amazing the first part suggest that all the material ar similar and in the same time the second part suggest that they come in different form, hey perhaps I am wrong but does any one see a paradox in this formulation?
beyond the semantic there is something that make it wrong, if the google venture board begin by the presentiment that all the material are common similar how could they discover the creativity they are searching for?
now the statement c) the elementary help that some one could provide to a company is the respect of confidentiality, some will ask google venture fund based on a simple idea on a simple draft on a simple schema on paper, if google venture can't protect such sheet of paper then thy can't do nothing for them.
some have to look out to find that twitter begin by a simple schema on a sheet of paper.
now to resume, the concept of google venture is noble and really interesting, but excuse me the disclaimer is a lazy one.
I would suggest to such enterprise to invest first in a panel of a jurist and lawyer.
or may be I am just frustrated.

We're studying a broad range of industries, including consumer Internet, software, hardware, clean-tech, bio-tech and health care. We invest anywhere from seed to mezzanine stage and embrace the challenge of helping young companies grow from the garage to global relevance.
Our team includes entrepreneurs, investors and innovators, along with some 20,000+ exceptional Googlers whose breadth of knowledge, experience and creativity constitute perhaps our own most valuable resource. You don't have to be a potential Google acquisition for us to want to work with you; we're out to build great companies, period. We look forward to learning whether yours is one of them.
the above quote is from the home page, it sound great is sound good, full of promise etc etc..

The missing Element of a Synchronious Chain
what a long headline isn't it?
this morning I was reading my RSS as usual and then something make me furious.here is the full story.
I am using Google Reader and I enjoy it, seriously it is a quasi-perfect tool to read your feed, you can :
1)add subscription..
2)discover some others ...
3)use keyboard..
4)share with friend
5)email to a friend
6)trend
there are a lot of feature, but there is one feature that will make my joy.
it is about sharing, some time reading a feed, I want to respond to it to interact with the author, to blog about it.
and here is my wishes a "blog about it" feature, the first place where people want to share their reaction reading something is there blog or their personal place.
Google Reader offer the possibility to get a public "shared item" page, but user have no control on it, they can't costumise it, or make it personnal or personalize it.
friendfeed fill this gaps, with friendfeed you can share a thought, an idea about some thing you have read elsewhere.
Google Reader offer in the same time a way to comment a feed, to make a comment on a feed on a reading, those comment are just visible by a reduced set of friend or contact.
by such feature "comment on a post, restricted sharing" Google want people to prefer a restricted sharing then a wide one.
and there is the problem, people aren't to share or comment on personnal feed, they are doing on a public one, people comment or share public feed, so why making restriction on their audience ?
to resume :
I have a google account, this induce a Greader account, a blogger account, so google please bring this feature this missing element that will make this synchronous.
with a "blog about" feature on Greader, I will easily comment, add a thought react on public feed and then share the result to a wide audience, not just friend or contact.
so please add that feature.

sub-product !!!
This morning, I want to talk about something that make me in trouble.
really sometime big company make decision that a boy like me a simple user don't understand.
it is really hard to wear their shoes (big company one).
so here is my concern:
the other day, I was going to set up a Filckr account, I confess I got one in the past, but I forget with what email address and what password, so visiting the Filckr I saw that I have to register with a yahoo account.
I am a fervent user of Gmail, why should I create a new yahoo account in order to use Filckr?
even the concept of a dependency between (email, photo-sharing) bug my mind.
ok let resume :
1)you can't use Filckr without a yahoo account.
2)you can't use Google reader, Google Doc , Picasa.. without a Google account.
and this is really stupid.
here is why:
yahoo or Google or msn or any other big company think that they have a PRODUCT and they build around sub Product.
Filckr is a sub-product of (yahoo account).
Greader is a sub-product of (google account).
it is a way to recognize their users, yahoo and Google make a small tattoo on our face to recognize us.
it is just a tribal culture.
now when a Sub-product, begin to be worth "product" labeling, then you have and you should open it to a wide rang of public.
the reputation of Filckr go beyond yahoo.
the reputation of Greader go beyond Google.
how could yahoo benefit from a user that create a "throug it" account just to use Filckr?
how could yahoo benefit for a user that use Gmail as a main email service.
those big company are trying to make one thing and let me formulate it as fellow:
"User-Retention".
they are just trying to keep their users to them, but in this open world, none is acquired.
so please open the door.
let the Sub-product grow to a Product.
let people use your service without forcing them to be your and only yours.
let imagine that one day we can as "small boy, simple users" access all the service that make our pleasure with a single ID, an openId or Oauth.
really sometime big company make decision that a boy like me a simple user don't understand.

Google News Comment Absurdity
so reading my RSS feed this morning a post from micropersuasion catches my attention. here is why:
it is absurd to ask people to contribute to your content using forms (authenticated one) or email in this new era of tweet and plurk and all the pseudo new named social action.
now let ask why people at Google News haven't delegated the comment role to any existing comment service?
let be more simplistic, why they haven't try to make a twitter channel "#GoogleNewsComment" and then download all the tweet as comment?
I am sure that there are many ways to do, to make it more easy more simple and may be more anonymity.
does Google Hate anonymity ?
no, the answer is beyond this: the answer is in the "content quality", even if they open the door to real people to ordinary people to comment on their life event (news is just a collection of events that happen around the world to real people like you and me", and because it is related to "you and me" we have the right to comment such events.
so, commenting news is a civic right (ho I enjoy civic movement).
so in order to maintain the quality of the content, commenting or any other contribution may and have to be under a sever control they don't want to have LOL comment on any events?
and they don't have enough time to moderate comment.
to resume, they are just offering comment in order to offer the service no more.
they have to think twice about such feature, are they ready to bring the "open content" or no, are they ready to open their content to others? what ever the contribution is!
no they can't.
remember in google logic, content is money.
- yes it is a great way for Google news to enhance their content with a real (live) comment from people around the world.
- yes comment will bring a bit of social to such static (ho god) (static in term of interactivity).
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell the entire process still remains slow because it's mired in human authorization.and I can't agree more with him.
it is absurd to ask people to contribute to your content using forms (authenticated one) or email in this new era of tweet and plurk and all the pseudo new named social action.

The 50$ Expert :)
Yesterday I saw this
Google Analytics Blog: Web Analytics Tips & Tricks: What is your Google Analytics IQ?
and I wanted really to make a comment on this. but I forget, I have to say frankly that the precedent post frustrate me, here is why :
to be able to get a Google Analytic certification at a low price and at the same time to have no opportunity to get this opportunity.
let me explain: I am from Algeria, may be I am not a lone to use Google Analytic for more then a years even to see how powerful it is.
so here in my region I can't even make on line payment or pay on line I am not the only person in this case, I am sure that many are in the same situation.
yes it is a good opportunity to take but, and there is always a "but" the wrong side is the consequences that such announce can produce.
to lower the price of a certification in the aim of massive adhesion is in the same time to take to the risk to lower the perceived value of the product concerned by the certificate.
how much cost an oracle certification?
Cisco router certification?
MS certification?
...
the wrong approach is the "shy" try to make profit from a product.
you have to be clear with you selves, do you want to make profit or not?
now let talk a bit about some consequences of less value certification, I am not an expert but I enjoyed a post from some one :
http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2009/03/google-offers-analytics-individual-qualification-iq-program.html
how could some one brag with a certification he share with million user from different age and scholar level?
the "use it in your CV" isn't an argument, in replacement they should demonstrate the ROI of Google analytic in real life case study.
so this is the question:
who else want to be a 50$ expert

It will be interesting to see how this program is received. The vast majority of Internet marketers are not up to speed with analytics and barely have time to keep up with the nuances of SEO and paid search. Of course, if you can learn enough to pass the test then it’s another badge for your website that says you’re an expert. Just what we need in this industry …. more ‘experts’.the fellowing quote is from : Google Press
While Google Analytics is easy to use for beginners, it’s most powerful in the hands of knowledgeable users. Qualified users will be effective at leveraging Google Analytics within their organizations and at helping others to do the same. The Google Analytics IQ program is tailored for agencies who want to retain and develop employees who are knowledgeable about Web analytics, and for individuals who seek ways to improve their job prospects or further their own personal development.how could someone brag with a 50$ certification?!!
how could some one brag with a certification he share with million user from different age and scholar level?

Google's Twitter Accounts!! what else?!!
So I read this Google's Twitter Accounts a few days ago, and it make me thinking.
does Google really suffer from a lake of infrastructure or knowledge to delegate it (real time user interaction) to tweeter?
may be the Jaiko fiasco was the begging of Google give up?
do they really surrender to tweeter?
the interesting question is :
is it really interesting to reinvent the wheel?
Google teams need a real time interaction with their users this a quit demonstrated by the vain and loosely way Google teams tried to implement such "feature" in the past.
let me explain :
1) do you remember Google doc poll?
2) do you remember Google talk gadget?
3) do you remember Google moderate (GAE) application?
and finally what about Jaiko?
so to resume :
a) I love Google effort. really and I am gratefully for all the effort they are doing.
but something have to be said:
Google have to make more initiative in this field and sooner.
does Google really suffer from a lake of infrastructure or knowledge to delegate it (real time user interaction) to tweeter?
