Given the release of Live Mesh, Dataportability.org’s new logo and web site and the increasing attention to FriendFeed, Minggl, Plaxo, OpenSocial, the Social Graph APIs, Twitter, oAuth, Facebook apps and OpenID - I started working on a series of blog posts called “How to build the mesh”.

Last night I completed #4 in the series - and I’ve been creating little charts along with each post - to emphasize that any of the areas I’m covering are in fact their own stand alone ecosystem. The mesh that I’m imagining will combine and multiply these disparate areas into an open world that will make sure that small developers can continue to participate along the way.

So the time has come to ‘lay these charts down on top of each other‘ to get an overall picture of what the mesh will look like. And what better place to do that than my back yard fence?

So I’ll be throwing parties throughout the summer (once a month) and inviting people over to contribute and discuss the ramifications of all these ‘rivers of people’, ‘people’s marketplace’, real-time nervous system, blood of our forefathers, content as infrastructure, two-way APIs and new standards that will be needed.

BTW Dora has nothing to do with this architecture.
