Learning About the Open Stack for the Social Web
Very coolio little event put on this evening by theSocialWeb.tv dudes.
There were presentations from:
- Yahoo on the XRD Discovery format and oAuth
- OpenID
- Portable Contacts
- OpenSocial
Folks talked about MySpace ID, AOL and OpenSocial. What was missing was someone from Microsoft.
Dave Morin was talking about connecting up the Facebook feed with Chris Messina and their efforts revolving around a shared, public aggregation model of lifestreams.
The guy from Digg talked about standardizing container for messages, registration and log-on and showed how much code he save and how efficient the “open model” was for Digg. They’re supporting OpenID, Facebook and their own proprietary formats, and loving it.
John McCrea was his usual enthusiastic self, David Recordon MCed and Joseph Smarr just kicked ass.
It was a totally inspiring evening. There were almost 100 people.
Thanks to all.
