OAuth-OpenID: You’re Barking Up the Wrong Tree if you Think They’re the Same Thing

by holyver (via)
OAuth, OpenID…they sound like the same thing and they kind of do vaguely similar things But I’m here to tell you, OAuth is not Open ID. They have a different purpose. I’ve been playing around with OAuth a bit in the past couple weeks and have a grip on what it’s aiming to do and what it’s not aiming to do. To start with, here’s what OAuth does have in common with Open ID

Stop Justifying RDF and RDFa | Bb RealTech

I did want to apologize for assuming that the XHTML errors I had recently were due to WhatWG members having fun at my expense. I've had people deliberately break my XHTML-based comments in the past when I've written about XHTML, and the break was documented with a screenshot in the web site of a WhatWG member. I put 2 and 2 together and came up with 5. (1/10/2009)

Yammer

by gregg & 1 other
Yammer is a tool for making companies and organizations more productive through the exchange of short frequent answers to one simple question: 'What are you working on?' As employees answer that question, a feed is created in one central location enabling co-workers to discuss ideas, post news, ask questions, and share links and other information. Yammer also serves as a company directory in which every employee has a profile and as a knowledge base where past conversations can be easily accessed and referenced.

On the Identity Trail - Lessons From the Identity Trail

by karlcow

During the past decade, rapid developments in information and communications technology have transformed key social, commercial, and political realities. Within that same time period, working at something less than Internet speed, much of the academic and policy debate arising from these new and emerging technologies has been fragmented. There have been few examples of interdisciplinary dialogue about the importance and impact of anonymity and privacy in a networked society. Lessons from the Identity Trail: Anonymity, Privacy and Identity in a Networked Society fills that gap, and examines key questions about anonymity, privacy, and identity in an environment that increasingly automates the collection of personal information and relies upon surveillance to promote private and public sector goals.

MIT Media Lab: Design Ecology / Information Ecology

by karlcow

Would you know if a dear, but seldom seen, friend happened to be on the same train as you? The proximeter is both an agent that tracks the past and future proximity of one’s social cloud, and an instrument that charts this in an ambient display. By reading existing calendar and social network feeds of others, and abstracting these into a glanceable pattern of paths, we hope to nuture within users a social proprioception and nudge them toward more face-to-face interactions when opportunities arise.

Hello, Twitter | stopdesign

by sbrothier & 1 other
Yes, it’s true. After reading a bit of speculation over the past few weeks, I’ll confirm here that I am, indeed, joining Twitter. I don’t remember ever being as eager or excited to start a new job as I’ve been with this one. (Thus, why I only took one week off between jobs.) Over the past year, I spoke with several organizations about coming on board to lead a design team. But Twitter felt the like most natural fit from the very start of my talks with the team. It’s still early in Twitter’s history. The company is small. Its user base is growing rapidly. And I see lots of potential to directly impact and to help shape the Twitter brand.

Digital History Hacks (2005-08)

by karlcow

When I began this blog, I had the idea that it would be an integral part of my critical and reflective technical practice. For the past three years, it has served admirably, providing an easy way to share ideas and code and putting me in touch with a wide range of colleagues and new friends. During that time I've tried to stay true to the promise of "hacks," even if I pushed the boundaries of both "digital" and "history". As my technical work has evolved, however, I've begun to feel like this blog is less and less suited to my day-to-day activities. Rather than try and force it to fit, I've decided to build something new.

Home Income Plan

by postasaurus
Mail online have reported that UK pensioners with an existing equity release scheme could save up to £300 million collectively by switching to an alternative plan at a lower interest rate. Equity release rates are fixed for life and have reduced over the past few years from around 8% to approximately 6%. The site claims that customers who have loans with the longest established lenders such as, Northern Rock and Mortgage Express could gain significantly by switching. It is estimated that approximately 10,000 pensioners could save up to £30,000 in interest payments over a 15 year period by switching their current equity release plan to one with a lower interest rate.

Evolution of the Web from 2000 to 2007 - average web object size quintuples since 2000

by karlcow

Summary: In a comparative survey of data traces from 2000 and 2007, University of Twente researchers found that the nature of the Web has changed from a static one-way medium to a dynamic platform for interactive services such as photo and video sharing portals.

The Web has changed dramatically over the past seven years. During that time the Web has moved from a static one-way medium toward a dynamic platform for interactive services such as photo and video sharing portals. In a comparative survey of data traces served over the Web from 2000 and 2007, University of Twente researchers found that the nature of web sites has changed (Sadre and Haverkort, 2008).

Ironic Support Forum - OpenMeta Is a Hack

by karlcow

what concerns me is the question if this is going to keep working or not? For some time I thought spotlight-comments-based Tags would be a solution – and later have run into growing difficulties, Quicksilver not 100% working any more with Tags, TagBot occasionally overwriting Tags, the TagBot people simply going away etc. etc.

There was SpotMeta (which, if I recall right did use a similar "Xattr"-solution ) but with Leopard that was not compatible and not developed anymore. I intend to go with Apples further development of OSX (as long as my machine is going to support this) but I want to be at least assured that the people who implement this new scheme will make everything possible to make it likely that it wil continue to work in the reasonably future. Michael didn't start fear in my heart, he just gave me a starting point to ask these questions. (By the way I have asked a similar question the Tags-people, a question based on my past experiences with tagging solutions)

Sans standards, le futur est un peu plus instable.

CCCB :: Exhibition In the Chinese city. Perspectives on the transmutations of an Empire - Ciutat i espai públic : Espai públic : Espai urbà : Transformació urbana, Cultura : Transformació cultural

by karlcow

For a decade now, China has been immersed in major processes of construction and destruction that have greatly modified its landscape. The exhibition will situate these changes in the country's historical and cultural continuum. It aims to present the reality of the city past and present in four of its dimensions: town planning, architecture, landscape and infrastructure. It will also be an opportunity to compare these realities with the Chinese and Western imaginaries, and with mechanisms of information or propaganda.

The Past Is Prologue: Carol Bartz and Autodesk in 1992=Yahoo Now | Kara Swisher | BoomTown | AllThingsD

by greut

“Over time, Autodesk became almost unmanageable. Why? Autodesk was run very democratically. People met. They discussed things. Many flowers bloomed. But nobody harvested.”

You can replace Autodesk with any other big company name, more or less. Growing is hard and painful.

Netlabel / Open Source Culture - Research Log by Bram Timmers

by mbertier (via)
Magyar This website has been created to show the progress of an academic research into the netlabel scene and its social and technical consequences for our reality and putting it in perspective with the open content movement . During the past months, I have kept you updated on the emerging results of my efforts to map and analyze this growing phenomenon, putting it in an academic perspective with several resources. The research is completed now, with many thanks to all of those who contributed. It is great to get many positive reactions from interested people, and I feel I would like to contribute even more to netaudio and academical, political and social awareness of it. For those interested, you can download the final research paper, by clicking the button below. Feel free to contact me for any comments, questions or suggestions!

The year 2008 in photographs (part 1 of 3) - The Big Picture - Boston.com

by sbrothier & 1 other
2008 has been an eventful year to say the least - it is difficult to sum up the thousands of stories in just a handful of photographs. That said, I will try to do what I've done with other photo narratives here, and tell a story of 2008 in photographs. It's not the story of 2008, it's certainly not all stories, but as a collection it does show a good portion of what life has been like over the past 12 months. This is a multi-entry story, 120 photographs over three days. Watch for part 2 and part 3 tomorrow and the next day. (40 photos total)
