It was called Powerscrap, when Orkut was blocked by our proxy! That I think, is how it actually became popular!
It was sleazy then, and it is just a good looking sleaze now!
At least you can see the sleaze. With Facebook, I feel like I bought a Reliance phone, never know what is going to happen! Somehow, Google connect feels a little safer.

The only federated thing I have ever tried, is retweeting, only because it is something I would do anyway, especially on bbc.co.uk

So there you go, I would use an aggregator like Power.com or Netvibes.com, only when it provides a level of access which the normal website doesn’t !
A federation is used, only when it is intuitive enough to make my usual impulse easier!

I bet a bag of Doritos that aggregation wins. [...]
