• Yahoo! Developer Network Video Conversation

  Chatted with the Tom Hughes-Croucher from the Yahoo! Developer Network about the Open Web Foundation and Facebook Connect while up at OSCON last week. Read More...

• Facebook Connect and Movable Type

  Building a little on my last post, I spoke at f8 earlier today to demo integration of Facebook Connect with Movable Type (made by Six Apart who I work for). You can read more about it on the Six Apart blog , though I wanted to share a photo from Venture Beat's coverage of f8 which I think helps show how all this stuff is starting to get tied together (read the posts if you don't get it). Also cool to see Digg showing OpenID in their new login UI next to Facebook. Read More...

• Facebook Connect Helps Make the Case for OpenID

  *** Hardt asks the question on his blog if Facebook Connect is a fatal blow to OpenID . I actually think that it helps to show why OpenID is going to become so valuable as you start to invest in your profile(s). To me, it shows that we're now all able to tell the same story and explain to normal people the value of having an identity and profile that can move about them around the web. Just as no one would let Microsoft own the protocol, no one is going to let Facebook either. I'm hoping that we'll Read More...

• My OSCON Schedule

  Headed up to Portland this afternoon for OSCON and just put my schedule online if you want to check it out. I won't be there Wednesday as I'll be down at Facebook f8 for the day. Then back up Thursday for a 9:15am keynote on Supporting the Open Web ! Really busy week, with no sleep for me, but should be tons of fun and I look forward to seeing a bunch of awesome people!

• The Irony of Proving Facebook Isn't a Walled Garden

  Facebook Notes don't even let you choose to post a Note fully publicly (as in Google can index it). Privacy settings are a good thing, LiveJournal certainly has shown that, but not having the option to create content in a public way is just frustrating to me as a Facebook user. Read More...

• It Seems that Google and Facebook Still Can't Get Connected

  With Chris Messina sharing some of his thoughts on Facebook's notion of "dynamic privacy" , it seems worth pointing out that Facebook is still blocking Google FriendConnect after they started blocking it back in May . FriendConnect from Google now displays "[Facebook button] - Disabled by Facebook" and also gives you the ability to choose your privacy settings for each site you're sharing with . With Facebook talking so much about Facebook Connect here at Graphing Social Patterns I'm wondering how Read More...

• More Thoughts on Facebook's usage of the CPAL as a "Poison Pill"

  In my post yesterday on the Open Web I referenced an article by Matt Assay of CNet entitled Facebook adopts the CPAL poison pill . This morning Dare Obasanjo (glad he's back to blogging!) shared his thoughts on this CNet article articulating how Matt's premise around the advertising clause is "pretty ridiculous". To me it isn't about the "advertising clause" but rather around how the CPAL defines "External Distribution" in section 15. Using fbOpen as an example, what the CPAL states is that just Read More...

• Memo to API Service Providers

  This is a followup and expansion to a blog entry I wrote in October 2007, titled "Memo to OAuth Service Providers". Recently, I've been working with a host of companies with open APIs built specifically for 3rd parties to build... Read More...

• OpenSocial Open Source Shindig: Overcoming the "Huh?"

  Congratulations to Google for getting the OpenSocial train on the right track. Today, they've announced a new Apache Foundation incubator project called Shindig. My complaint with OpenSocial's launch was not really with the substance of what was provided at launch,... Read More...
