tommorris: Mobile developer event taking place over 48 hours ("over night hacking" included)
tommorris: Perhaps of interest to SemWebbies and HTMLies too
tommorris: SIGNUP IS LIVE NOW DAMMIT, TAKE OFF EVERY ZIG etc.
 
danbri: Proof that Marc Canter and Dave Winer aren't the same person
 
 
danja__: using a Planet Venus cache as source data, pushing through xslt into a triplestore
danja__: SPARQL endpoint (select "twitcrit reviews" from the drop-down)
 
danbri: Anyone following this?
danbri: I was just chatting with Hak Lae Kim from DERI Galway about his work on the SKOT project ...
danbri: The current Wordpress exporter generates co-occurancy stats for tags (see example scot.rdf), but I was thinking this should have conditional probabilities, ie. let us know, for some repository, how strong a predictor 'bristol' is for 'work', or vice-versa. Wondered if the XG had anything general that could be used.
 
DanC: panelists from Wikia, AOL, Six Apart, Google
DanC: Simon Willison gets a laugh for saying Microsoft proposed to solve the password problem by having everybody have an account with them, but I don't hear anybody bristle at the idea that everybody should have a twitter account
DanC: "An OpenID is a URL" yay!
DanC: ah... that's what openid 2.0 gives you... a "sign in with my yahoo openid" button
DanC: SW: email is a single-sign-on mechanism; that "forgot your password?" callback is single-sign-on, but with a really sucky UI. you can think of OpenID as single-sign-on with a UI that doesn't suck. [much audience appreciation/chuckle]
DanC: panel discusses educating the masses and how to educate people about having URLs that represent them. A: at a restaurant here in Austin, if you ask random people what their myspace url is, most of them can tell you
DanC: Q: is there any central record keeping involved in OpenID? A: no, which makes it really hard to quantify adoption
DanC: hmm... the title of the panel is "a critical look at OpenID" which suggests some diversity of positions, but this seems to be an openid love-fest
DanC: Yahoo is an OpenID provider as of January. Yahoo is not an OpenID relying party. [:-/]
DanC: "yahoo only supports openid 2.0 and will never support openid 1.0"
DanC: ... says Levitt
logger: See discussion
DanC: see yahoo.com/openid
DanC: DC: what about relying parties? wikipdeia? Bergman: say they won't until they solve their own sso problem ... because wikimedia has separate user dbs for... collisions...
DanC: Williams: basecamp and [another]... niche... [darn; this is going too fast]
DanC: Q: why is yahoo not a relying party? how can we expect it to jump out of the niche if the big players won't do it? A: google did it on blogger Q: but that's still in the niche. Levitt: I can't speak to why yahoo didn't do it, but it's a bigger engineering effort
DanC: Q: what's blocking adoption? Recordon: let's poll... result shows usability gets many more hands than security, technology
DanC: Q: will openid help solve blog comment spam? A: yes, with distributed whitelisting via tiwtter friends lists and the like
