Just in time for Mix06 - Microsoft has released their guide to how you can integrate Infocards within your on-line web services and browser based products.
This is key and crucial.
Those of us who want to be Homesites and Member sites can and should support Sxip - but some may want to just support Microsoft - [...]

Dick Hardt has put up his ‘Identity 2.0′ presentation from Etech.  It’s the same pitch he’s been giving, but it’s evolved - as they now have a 2.0 version of Sxip - which is decentralized and which can adopt to ANY authoritative source - which makes it even MORE powerful and open infrastructure-like.
Dick continues to blow [...]

Somebody really needs to tell Nike and Google that it’s not called soccer - but football - everywhere in the world, but the U.S.
So that means that this site is just for Americans.

That seems really weird to me and says that this is not a real Google site, but one of those “20% playing around” [...]

So they’re coming out of that debacle - with cash.  I think they [...]

So there are three incredible Heathers here:
- Heather Armstrong - otherwise [...]

Guess who’s gigging tonight at Stubb’s? 
Matisyahu - the Hasidic reggae star!
Stubb’s is the same place where he recorded his hot album.  This guy is great and he combines two key aspects of my life - Judaism and Reggae!
My panel ends at six and it sounds like I’m gonna have to go over there and stand [...]

My father was one of the organizers of the meatpacker’s union back in the 40’s.
I was raised on south side of Chicago BBQ and as long as I remember - it has been the place in my mind where community has formed.  The central hearth of the neighborhood - where all come to eat, meet [...]

Contrary to rumors - I just got it direct from the horse’s mouth Dave “the state of the blogosphere” Sifry that they are in fact NOT laying off at Technorati - but hiring.
So go take a look at their jobs page.
