They lose a great opportunity to promote their goods. And I agree that commerce on the web needs to evolve.

We at SUTRA use it very effective, so much so that we have poeple calling in to enquire about some of this updates.

The value lies in the data as an aggregate ("Vinny has 1,500 friends, and therefore he is a trusted entity"). That tpe of logic and usefulness of social networks make much more sense to me. The idea of the social environment, is that it allows trust to be transferred, from offline to online. <br><br>And I agree, most of those apps are rubbish... :-) Hey JP

I go shopping on MyTrade.co.za and i search the site for a new poker set per ce. Now i find the poker set i want, but first want to see who is selling it by means of the data portability MyTrade implemented…

…now i see the person selling it… a lovely young lady, which makes me go look deeper into that person, add as a friend… and not before long i’m on Facebook browsing her family pics, house party she had, check out her friends… check out her friends, friends…

now what just happened here? what happened to me searching for a poker set to purchase? my attention was completely shakin off MyTrade by something simple as doing a bit of research on this seller.

MyTrade’s gain would merely depend on the seriousness and discipline of the individual on hand not? what if something like a Business Network ID could be setup, something off the “flirt with me” app I just added and more professional than intruding your social environment with business?

I’m not questioning the legitimacy of something like “Facebook Connect” or data portability as a whole, but even just the mention of something like Facebook could steer a potential Buyers attention off to a more social environment!

How does one get around this issue? yet a bit far fetched at first glance, but there is some reality behind my theory i believe.

your opinion please Vin.
