Why does this hypothetical Facebook not use fragment identifiers? Do they have to? Will they always be stuck with that? What will Facebook look like in three years? This is my question. Is it a problem that they dont currently use fragments. And can we easily can get around that? I cant comment on why they built their platform the way they did, what they will roll out in future, or in what time line. But I'm interested in the short medium term, to see how easily compatible WebID is with their EXISTING setup? Right now everyone is developing for the FB platform due to the network effect. If we can have a hybrid system that easily manages WebID and Facebook account, I can see people using it (I would at least). > > Sorry, there are just too many hypotheticals in your question to make it possible to give any clear answer.

I think they would be good people to talk to, yes, if it's possible to get them more interested. It's the dominant social eco system on the web. I know from SWXG telecons that David Recordan has at least heard of WebID, so that's a start... > > > Henry > > Social Web Architect > http://bblfish.net/ > >
