I’m testing wikia’s social network, here’s my profile.

It’s simple. I like it.

But what I found exceptionally interesting is the “trust level” field. No, if they do this right, they could build the largest Web of Trust. Are they after it? Or did they implement it just as a mechanism to value the autority of wikia authors?

What the hell is Yahoo! doing? They have a couple of the first and best social networking sites, like del.icio.us and flickr. They have an IM. They have Yahoo!Mail with people’s contacts. They have a lot of eyeballs on them.

Why can’t the just come up with a simple site to integrate all of my and my friends activity, in one page? Not some fancy, complicated, Yahoo360 thing. A simple page, where I can see all my friends activity -just copy facebook News Feed.

And a “friends” page where all my friends, will be listed -as flickr friend, del.icio.us follower, addressbook contact, messenger contact etc.

Then, join on the Open Social thing.

Com’on Yahoo!, pull yourself together!
