Comments on: Complex Power.com tech bridges social networks

A useful concept marred by a confusing interface, the site lets you access your social networks (including Facebook) as well as your IM networks in one place.

I'm not convinced.

First off, is there such a thing as a "power networker"? There are people who register profiles on as many mainstream sites as they can, but they tend to spend their time on only a few key ones (the ones they get the most attention on) and is managing a Facebook profile AND YouTube profile really such hard work?

Secondly, niche networks are the future and Power.com will find it hard to keep up with all of them. It also needs to use somthing like OpenID and OpenAuth to ensure that the interaction between it and and those networks is as seemless as possible.

I've long though a network aggregator services would be a great social media launch page, but it needs to have cross-site authentication with it, as well as enabling users to move their social graph around networks as they move, so they don't have to build a friends list from scratch.

I am not sure Power.com has all it needs to be successful, other than a great domain name -- in fact, I'd suggest that's the only reason it's getting the exposure it is.
