Gets More Social with SezWho Integration;

And what I particularly like about all these comment-tracking tools is the way in which they offer a self-contained, narrowed look at the direct integration between you, your content, and others. It's a very relevant way in which to assess a given response to something you'd like to follow, for one reason or another. In addition to this rather straightforward and practical integration of SezWho into BlogCatalog, others such as Siphs and MessageDance.

BlogCatalog Gets More Social with SezWho Integration

As SezWho includes ratings and reputation-building within its service, the integration of SezWho into BlogCatalog extends another way in which users and readers can interact with content and each other, while establishing themselves as authorities on their respective areas of interest. There are several sites that are beginning to take comment-tracking more seriously; Digg being one of them.

Google Releases the Social Graph API

via Mashable! by Mark 'Rizzn' Hopkins on 2/1/08

Leave it to Google, the likely impetus behind the story of the day, to release something to give us a reprieve from the Microsoft-Yahoo merger discussions. Today they released a new API for graphing social connections in the wilds of the web. It’s called, aptly, the Social Graph API, and it’s used by social app developers to let their users grab information on their social connections across the internet.

The system uses a lot of the algorithms Google’s search, says RWW’s Josh Catone, in that it’s engine to find personal connections on the Internet.

“It only uses publicly available data,” said Josh. “If it’s not on Google, the API won’t be able to find it — which Google says puts the users in control of their own data since anything they don’t like showing up, thecy can change at the source level.”

This whole thing plays well into the concepts of Data Portability, though as Josh notes, it very likely was in development far before they joined the group (a good sign, in my opinion, that they’re serious about the precepts the claim to be behind in the DataPortability Workgroup).

Brad Fitzpatrick at Google created a YouTube video explaining it, opening it up with an homage to the illustrious career of Troy McClure:

A quick bit of playing with the system showed that it was reasonably decent at finding good hidden profiles for people particularly active on the web (for fun, try looking up the Scobleizer). But beyond Valleywag writers, I do think this too will have good applications for the run of the mill user, as it further decentralizes social networking, and thus reduces our reliance on the various walled gardens.
