Apologies. </p>isfanSun, 28 Dec 2008 09:40:43 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4676007<p>For many of us that are not particularly religious, Christmas seems to be about an excuse to celebrate with others. It turns out to be a tradition that brings people together.</p><p>This year I started a tradition I would like to share with all of you. Each one of our three girls (aged 8-12) made a specially decorated box with a memory stick in it. The stick contained a message and a song for the girl's mom (my amazing wife Quebec Girl :). Every year, the girls will add a new message and I hope this continues into adulthood. It will be a point of anticipation every year and we'll end up with a wonderful sequence of messages in one place where we can see the girls grow up. It will be a privilege if this inspires you to do something similar.</p><p>Here is a link to our youngest girl's message. We weren't originally going to post these but decided it might inspire others. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN1LLcNXEsU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN1LLcNXEsU">http://www.youtube.com/watc...</a></p><p></p>isfanSun, 28 Dec 2008 09:29:51 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4626780<p>Hi Fred</p><p>Each day, Facebook is becoming more integrated with everything we say and do on the web through applications like this. People who say that Facebook won't be around in a few years time had better relook at what is happening around Facebook on the web. Instead of waning, its presence its growing; and I think will continue to grow for the foreseeable future aided by the growing number of apps that are linked to Facebook.</p><p>Kind regards<br>Kevin</p>Kevin CimringThu, 25 Dec 2008 12:06:00 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4625127<p>Congratulations! looking out to see what "the start of more Facebook integration" is...</p>Lucas Rodriguez CerveraThu, 25 Dec 2008 06:30:50 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4624599<p>Well that is not the point of this exercise to be sure. My hope and expectation is that the 'head' of online media will want a premium version of disqus and that will allow disqus to continue to provide the free version to the 'tail'</p><p>Freemium is going to be tested in 2009 like never before. But one thing I also know is that low headcount and burnrate is key to making it work. Disqus has done everything so far with 3-4 people</p>fredwilsonThu, 25 Dec 2008 03:01:11 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4624556<p>I'll check to see the answer to your last question and post the answer as a reply</p><p>I agree that the friction involved in commenting is large and disqus and others must do everything in their power to reduce it</p>fredwilsonThu, 25 Dec 2008 02:53:04 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4618628<p>FBConnect is cool but OpenID support from FB would be better</p>Peter BootWed, 24 Dec 2008 19:52:24 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4615758<p>Lol "town"...</p>Zee.Wed, 24 Dec 2008 18:19:41 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4614500<p>Ha! This (commenting) is so much better now with FB. For one thing I predict blogs will get a lot more comments, it will be like BF/AF (before and after FaceBook Connect). The inertia to login (even if you have a profile, even if you remember your pwd) should not be underestimated.</p><p>One curiosity I have: what kind of information you (blogger) have access to because I'm using FB Connect here ? Do you see (or have API access to) everything in my FB profile, same level of access as say a Friend ?</p>Vicente SilveiraWed, 24 Dec 2008 16:22:08 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4614425<p>At the risk of using a way over-used phrase...I smell a tipping point for Facebook Connect... :)</p>Jon BischkeWed, 24 Dec 2008 16:15:13 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4614090<p>I think the disques/facebook partnership is a great one for both companies and will go a long way to merging online identities into one. If everything works out, I can certainly see facebook purchasing disqus.</p>Drew MeyersWed, 24 Dec 2008 15:46:16 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4613221<p>Thanks Fred, I followed the instructions and set my blog up. As easy as this is, there's still some intimidation dealing with "API Keys" and "Applications." I wonder if Facebook will be able to create an application environment for the masses.</p>aripapWed, 24 Dec 2008 14:29:46 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4613078<p>just testing. awesome.</p>ScottWed, 24 Dec 2008 14:20:26 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4613282<p>Yeah, those keys are not mainstream!</p>fredwilsonWed, 24 Dec 2008 13:36:11 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4612344<p>much easier keeping everything together. good work</p>Facebook UserWed, 24 Dec 2008 13:29:34 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4611930<p>I think that's the ideal goal for everyone. Today it's going to require a bit of cooperation from everyone, but all of this is in the right direction to making the experience a better one for everyone.</p>obscurelyfamousWed, 24 Dec 2008 13:08:05 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4609253<p>Testing FB Connect.

We're excited to have Disqus on board with Facebook Connect.

Awesome. I imagine in the future you will be able to comment using either Disqus, FB connect and Google Friend Connect? Could there be some sort of consolidation process? (ie. Log into the 1 commenting system, and it reconciles all of the comments between the other systems).</p>Daniel ReichWed, 24 Dec 2008 10:33:34 -0000http://avc.com/2008/12/facebook-users/#comment-4609169<p>Hi Dave.
