Just came across this article below from Brad McCarty. All in all, a good change for Facebook and a way to capitalize on the news of business profiles getting deleted on Google+.

However, for Facebook to continue to be the force they are, here’s what they need to do:

Take time to regain focus: Things will make more sense to them and they can then focus in a better frame of mind. When and if a business implements solely on fear and rush to cover their ass, things tend to go downhill. Not as good quality/value.

Calm down higher ups: Stop putting immense pressure on those who actually create. The creators and idea makers are the future of the network. Give them space and let them do what they do best without breathing down their neck.

Yes, deadlines are necessary and it sure doesn’t hurt to be reasonable 🙂

The big shift: Far better to work from a place of relaxed focus than “Oh my god, we gotta get this done NOW!” focus.

I have no issue about using my real name with my own account… and understand why it’s crucial…but is anyone else sick of the username debate yet?

WIRED: Google+ Identity Crisis: What’s at Stake With Real Names and Privacy by Tim Carmody via Audrey Watters

Dave Winer: “There’s a very simple business reason why Google cares if they have your real name. It means it’s possible to cross-relate your account with your buying behavior with their partners, who might be banks, retailers, supermarkets, hospitals, airlines. To connect with your use of cell phones that might be running their mobile operating system. To provide identity in a commerce-ready way. And to give them information about what you do on the Internet, without obfuscation of pseudonyms.

Simply put, a real name is worth more than a fake one.”

The First Google + Bot – An Ode To Scoble 2008

In an ode to Scoble getting kicked off Facebook in 2008 for running an automated friending script http://scobleizer.com/2008/01/03/ive-been-kicked-off-of-facebook/ this programmer shows how easily a robot could be built.

We built something like this for Twitter 2 1/2 years ago, tried it out, then canned the account. Picked up 20,000 followers too in a week. But they were all running scripts too, so when my bot unfollowed them, they unfollowed me LOL

For all my startup peeps… Sarah Evans’ always got some awesome tips!
