Then with Amplify? I spammed my own FB profile! and those of others no doubt! <br /><br />There is a way to use Amplify. I post directly to FB with many articles, News stories, human interest because the picture displayed in the comment.<br /><br />then I amplify it without sending it to FB unless I want to show it on one of my pages.<br /><br />Takes a little thought to use any Social Networking Service like Amplify, Twitter, FF, FB - <br /><br />Spam? no, just learning!<br /><br />Thanks for Reading<br />Beth<br /><br />aka BethsVentures<br />ForYourBusinessSuccess<br /><br />;^)(^;Beth Schmillenhttp://foryourmarketingsuccess.pressmania.com/adlisting.aspxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081361780079434787.post-40827012724460717282010-06-08T10:37:04.014+02:002010-06-08T10:37:04.014+02:00Thank you very much Eric, that's just excellen...Thank you very much Eric, that's just excellent.

I really enjoy your enthusiasm in this ...Martijn, <br /><br />I really enjoy your enthusiasm in this whole debate. And, you have started a great debate within Amplify as well as have Eric looking at ways of possibly improving Amplify for the above mentioned purpose. <br /><br />Your energy will certainly be well appreciated within a community such as Amplify and I for one would like to see you there. <br /><br />Also, I see later in your tweets you make mention of Don Miguel Ruiz's, The Four Agreements. I certainly believe in these principles and if you don't mind would like to Amplify your article. My posts all syndicate back to Twitter as well.DKW Onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675118517082448196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081361780079434787.post-8431770202678875162010-06-06T15:40:27.156+02:002010-06-06T15:40:27.156+02:00Thank you Eric and Arjan.

Amplify is a social network where people can share and discuss news and ideas similar to how they would on Twitter but without the restrictions of the 140 character limit. Users can also syndicate their posts from Amplify to other sites, including Twitter, Facebook, etc. My perspective is that if people from Twitter want to comment, they can comment on Twitter. If people on Facebook want to comment, they can comment on Facebook. But if people on Amplify want to discuss things with each other, they need to be logged in. I'm really not sure that anonymous/logged out commenting works within the larger framework of Amplify. I assure you, we're not looking to trick anyone. Maybe we can/should make our messaging clearer up front. I'll give another look at that as well.Eric Goldsteinhttp://egoldstein.amplify.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081361780079434787.post-22753234889745316572010-06-06T15:19:50.592+02:002010-06-06T15:19:50.592+02:00Hmm, I agree with Martijn.

Asking for authentication, and then, in stead of redirecting back to the place where one wants to leave a comment, ask them to set a page and register for a service... it comes very close to spam. Glad to hear you are reconsidering. However, what is the benefit of Amplify over, say, Disqus?Arjan Tupanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10902542337420820696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6081361780079434787.post-44945580686109004342010-06-06T15:08:26.964+02:002010-06-06T15:08:26.964+02:00To call it spam is just silly.

That said, I hear your points and will reconsider the pros and cons of allowing logged out commenting.Eric Goldsteinhttp://egoldstein.amplify.comnoreply@blogger.com
