building the open web one bit at a time

Compendium of coolio posts - blogging Feb ‘09

Some may think Facebook will be overtaken by a mobile social network, but I think Zuckerberg is too smart to let that happen.  And Dave Morin.

Men’s Health social network/content site - built with PeopleAggregator and Pages+ =  MensHealth.it

This is the benefits of oAuth

The Google social bar is here - I agree, I think this is important!

Everybody loves John McCrea’s live blogging of these key open stack events. Is that enough to justify inviting him to these events, even though he has zero technical input and other who might be able to contribute are not invited?  I’d say yes - but others might disagree.

This is a big reason why Yahoo ain’t going away. In addition to their content properties and years of experience Yahoo leads the way with their Open APIs to useful developer tools such as their YUI libraries, their Search engine builder and their Pipes thingie - as well.   Yahoo (despite it’s problems) has a great open architecture in Y! OS and really smart dudes like Allen Tom and Eran Hammer-Lahav - helping us build the open web.  Now they just need to trim the fat and get profitable.  Providing APIs into structrued data is RIGHT ON!

is it “loss of innovation” or is it companies that need to go away - anyway - and should never have been funded?

I’d use this Mark Cuban idea - but it’s gonna take more than 90 days to build our software.  It took Director five years to gestate - but I love the idea. Open sourcing ideas is crucial to build the open mesh.

I love the notion of a clue-by-four

Eminem sets the record for most downloads in an opening week with 418,000. That’s the FIRST week of it being available.  Talk about pent up demand!

What Paolo forgot to say when he said “our technology” is that this also includes PeopleAgrgegator.
