Facebook to Allow Outside Widgets?
Wired’s Listening Post has blogged that popular social networking website Facebook is going to open up and allow outside widgets onto people’s Facebook profiles. A trusted source tells me that the online social networking site Facebook plans to open its tightly controlled site to outside widgets, allowing users to embed outside audio, video, and other content onto their profile pages for the first time. Ironically, this move comes just as MySpace tightens up its widget policies, meaning that the two sites could come to resemble each other a lot more than they do now. If this happens it would be a big opportunity for widget providers to get their widgets in Facebook. MySpace started with open doors and has been getting more restrictive on widgets and third-party hosting services. The latest incident was MySpace’s blocking of Photobucket’s videos. If the widget news is true it would also be a big step in Facebook’s apparent move toward becoming more and more like the other social networks. That move began last year when Facebook opened its virtual doors to more faces — not just high school and college students and alumni. Posted in Facebook Permalink | Recent Headlines | WWFeeds.com

Bloggers React to the Blogger’s Code of Conduct
The big discussion today in the blogosphere is about a proposed Blogger’s Code of Conduct. It is currently the top story on Techmeme. Tim O’Reilly has posted a draft of the Blogger’s Code here on his blog and here on Wikia. Tim O’Reilly says the “code” is a draft based closely on the BlogHer Community Guidelines. The code was devised following the recent blogger death threats. There is a sheriff type of badge for blogs that adhere to the code’s guidelines. There is also an “anything goes” badge for blogs that will not follow the guidelines. This badge contains a stick of dynamite about to explode. Eventually the Blogger’s Code of Conduct and badges bloggers can use will be posted at bloggingcode.org. Here is the first draft of the Code. We celebrate the blogosphere because it embraces frank and open conversation. But frankness does not have to mean lack of civility. We present this Blogger Code of Conduct in hopes that it helps create a culture that encourages both personal expression and constructive conversation. We take responsibility for our own words and for the comments we allow on our blog. We are committed to the “Civility Enforced” standard: we will not post unacceptable content, and we’ll delete comments that contain it. We define unacceptable content as anything included or linked to that: - is being used to abuse, harass, stalk, or threaten others - is libelous, knowingly false, ad-hominem, or misrepresents another person, - infringes upon a copyright or trademark - violates an obligation of confidentiality - violates the privacy of others We define and determine what is “unacceptable content” on a case-by-case basis, and our definitions are not limited to this list. If we delete a comment or link, we will say so and explain why. [We reserve the right to change these standards at any time with no notice.] We won’t say anything online that we wouldn’t say in person. We connect privately before we respond publicly. When we encounter conflicts and misrepresentation in the blogosphere, we make every effort to talk privately and directly to the person(s) involved–or find an intermediary who can do so–before we publish any posts or comments about the issue. When we believe someone is unfairly attacking another, we take action. When someone who is publishing comments or blog postings that are offensive, we’ll tell them so (privately, if possible–see above) and ask them to publicly make amends. If those published comments could be construed as a threat, and the perpetrator doesn’t withdraw them and apologize, we will cooperate with law enforcement to protect the target of the threat. We do not allow anonymous comments. We require commenters to supply a valid email address before they can post, though we allow commenters to identify themselves with an alias, rather than their real name. We ignore the trolls. We prefer not to respond to nasty comments about us or our blog, as long as they don’t veer into abuse or libel. We believe that feeding the trolls only encourages them–”Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, but the pig likes it.” Ignoring public attacks is often the best way to contain them. There has been a backlash against the code by many bloggers and against the idea of badges for blogs. It is most likely that bloggers that choose to ignore the code are not going to post any kind of badge at all or they might alter the badges like Duncan Riley did here on a post at 901am.com. Some parts of the code like not being libelous, not stalking and not infringing on copyright are things that we all hope reasonable bloggers are going to follow whether or not they have agreed to a code. There are also already laws that make many of these activities illegal. It is the parts of the Blogger’s Code of Conduct about anonymous comments and trolls that are the most controversial. A lot of blogs allow the posting of anonymous comments and some bloggers talk to the trolls. Robert Scoble admits to feeding the trolls. Ensuring that commenters are who they say they are is also not an easy thing to do even if you wanted to. Zoli notes that commenters can hide by “just registering with bogus credentials.” The New York Times has an article about the Blogger’s Code of Conduct. Jeff Jarvis points out that the code gave the Times an excuse to use “World of Nasty Blogs” in a headline. The article includes a photograph of the founders of BlogHer.org, where a similar code of conduct has been helpful in building that community. Nicholas Carr has a funny response about how the “Civility Enforced” badget could be used. Boing Boing argues the freedom has been traded for politeness. More coverage of the code can be found on mathewingram.com/work, Crunchnotes, Burningbird and Techmeme. Meanwhile, Om Malik says if you are paying too much attention to the Code and the badges you are missing out on a big Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) revenue cuts story.

Gossip Blogs Claim Lindsay Lohan’s BlackBerry, Gmail and MySpace Hacked
Several celebrity gossip blogs here, here, here, here, here and here are reporting that Lindsay Lohan’s private MySpace account has been hacked and emails and photos from her gmail and BlackBerry accounts were posted there. The Superficial says the emails include exchanges between Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, Shanna Moakler, Samantha Ronson, and Stavros Niarchos. Superficial’s post also contains copies of some of these email exchanges. The emails include frequent use of foul language and very lousy spelling. Some of the blogs are saying that a website will be launched later containing all the information the people stole from Linday’s gmail and BlackBerry account. It is hard to imagine all three services being hacked at once unless maybe one account was breached and Lindsay Lohan was using the same password for all three. Linday’s MySpace profile appears to have been closed. The only message is there now is “Invalid Friend ID. This user has either cancelled their membership, or their acccount has been deleted.” Posted in celebrity Gossip Permalink | Recent Headlines | WWFeeds.com
Gaia Online: An Escape For Teens
GigaOm has an article about Gaia Online, a virtual world and online hangout inhabited by teens. Gaia already has considerable traffic with 300,000 users logging in each day. GigaOm says most of the activity at Gaia actually takes place in the online forums. The largest cohort of activity (wholly 30%) takes place in the Gaia forums, and here’s where the truly staggering numbers come in: Averaging a million posts a day and a billion posts so far, Gaia’s message boards (with topics running the gamut from pop culture to politics) is second only to Yahoo in popularity. A million posts a day is very impressive. MySpace has matured so the fickle teens have to go somewhere and it sounds like Gaia is one of their destinations. GigaOm’s post also has an interview with Gaia Online CEO Craig Sherman who seems to be billing Gaia as an escape for those fleeing MySpace and other social networks. Craig Sherman has been thinking what the value-proposition of his site in the era of MySpace or Facebook. “In a world where teens are constantly branding and packaging themselves” on sites like those, he points out, “Gaia is where you get away from it all.” Gaia, which offers the virtual world, forums, content rating and flash games, also has a way of making money that is not from advertising. They sell virtual fashion accessories and other “rare items.” Instead of monthly subscriptions, Gaia Online sells “rare items” - treasures, fantastically cool fashion accessories for player avatars, and so on - two offered a month for $2.50 each. Subscribers buy them via credit card, Pay Pay, cellphone - or cash on the barrel. (”We employ someone full time whose job is getting dollars and quarters” out of envelopes kids send them, Sherman notes.) The article says Gaia Online also has advertising including a recent campaign for The Last Mimzy movie where Gaians were challenged to “accomplish a series of tasks in order to get their own special Gaian-only Mimzy (a super-intelligent bunny).” Gaia is off to a fast stealthy start but there is competition from Habbo Hotel, Nicktropolis, WeeWorld and Cyworld. TheDealBlogs.com has an article about a couple more virtual world startups including Club Penguin and Areae. Update: Lightspeed mentions several other competitors including Neopets and Webkinz.
