Independent Advocate for the Rights and Dignity of our Digital Selves
During Gates Keynote he brought up the guys from myspace to talk about how they have used ASP.NET to scale well. They are also building a photo ‘gadget’ (in Apple land we call these widgets I think).that is just like 1001 for flickr. As they were leaving the stage – Marc Canter hollered out “Give us some Open APIs please”.

Yesterday we had the Kum-by-ya sing along lead by Marc Canter for 40 companies on board with Structured Blogging/Content ad hoc open standards.
Salim was a big leader behind the effort and started blogging yesterday too at – You’ve Got Ismail.
Mary mentioned I-Tags open standard Drummond had just got the spec up… there for you all to see.
Today Marc plugged i-tags from the stage today at the morning panel on syndication and RSS.
danah boyd talked briefly about this new initiative at BlogHer yesterday. FUSE is the name of the new initiative that Jeff Weiner from Yahoo outlined at SuperNova.
I had fun at BlogHer 🙂 I did my first podcast there with Halley (you can see the picture over on Marc’s site) It was about 10 min talking about identity in various forms. I wonder when Podtech will put it up?
Yahoo! who hosted the cocktail party and did demo’s of Yahoo 360. I got to talk with one of the guys from the company and he raised some issues about identity 2.0 that I had not thought about. The power to enforce the of the EULA (end user license agreement) for a company like Yahoo! is in large part tied to their right to ‘terminate’ identities when the principles behind them misbehave. It seems key to include them more of the folks working for ‘the big guys’ in our identity workshop discussions and perhaps particularly policy usability.
Talk about changing identity (if where you work is a part of ones identity) Dana now works for the Yahoo! Berkeley Research and resigned from Google.
Marc Canter had a great week at Always On. The Identity Hub took a step forward with the announcement of the GoingOn Network.
(I didn’t make it 🙁 because I was hanging out with the Spiritual Activists in a different part of the Bay Area looking for clients for Integrative Activism.)
I got to hang out at the WordPress partyon Sunday evening and some of the folks were nerding out on Microformats that seem like a key part of the weaving the social web.
I have a busy week coming up with Tag Tuesday tomorrow night. Eugene Kim and Zack at SDForum and then Planetwork Thursday on Identity
