The document discusses open data from both a local and global perspective. It outlines the benefits of open data, such as enabling new opportunities and increased relevance for governments. However, it also notes some challenges to open data like data quality issues and concerns about exposing incompetence or proprietary information. The document advocates starting simply by publishing basic open data and improving over time.
Digital Culture and the Shaking Hand of ChangeMichael Edson
The presentation shows how to create and use a "problem space" to organize complex challenges. The central metaphor for the talk is the "civic handshake" — a process by which different parts of society cooperate through the informal exchange of information and the sharing of responsibilities.
A 'digital generation': sustaining connections in the Information AgeDr Mariann Hardey
This document summarizes research into the digital habits and social behaviors of young people often referred to as the "iGeneration". It finds that they are immersed in digital media and focused on shared interactive online environments. Their social lives involve constant connectivity through various devices and platforms. They seek to occupy multiple online profiles to represent themselves and stay connected in real-time. Not being connected online takes on social meaning. Their interactions are fast-paced and they feel the need to continuously update their status and networks.

Lego Beowulf and the Web of Hands and Hearts, for the Danish national museum ...Michael Edson
This talk was delivered at the awards ceremony for the 2012 Bikuben Foundation Danish Museum Prize in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Ideas about what museums are, who they serve, and the role they play in society are changing with dramatic speed, driven largely by social media and the participatory culture of global networks.
Denmark supports world-class museums, with remarkable collections, expert staff, and beautiful architecture. But how can museum leaders balance the traditional concepts of organizational mission and outcomes with the disruptive possibilities being demonstrated by those who love and use museums in new ways?

fOSSa2011: Five Things About Online Community and NetworksNancy Wright White
My talk at fOSSa2011 in Lyon France sharing some ideas about communities, networks and technology stewardship in the context of Open Source Software communities. Photos of the sketchnotes I did of other presentations can be found here: http://fossa.inria.fr/nancywhite-s-sketch-notes-scanned-part-one/
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. - Alvin Toffler
Web 2.0 refers to second-generation internet-based services that emphasize online collaboration and sharing among users and encourage users to add value through tagging, commenting, and modifying content. Some key characteristics include rich, interactive interfaces; user-generated content; and network effects from user contributions.
1. The document discusses the evolution of social interaction from early bulletin boards and email to modern social networks like Flickr, Last.fm, and Twitter.
2. It notes that while early online forums enabled unprecedented collaboration, they also introduced problems like trolls and flaming. As networks grew larger, Dunbar's number suggests that too many people interacting in the same space can be detrimental to polite behavior.
3. More recent social platforms focus communication around shared objects like photos, music, or events rather than open discussions. Guidelines emphasize being polite, respectful, and civil. Privacy and expectations also vary across generations and cultures.
This document outlines a proposal for hosting coding camps at libraries to teach kids software development skills. It notes that proficiency in coding at a young age helps with problem solving and STEM skills. Libraries are well-suited to host low or no-cost camps using open source tools like Scratch, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi. The camps could teach skills through projects and expose kids to potential tech careers with growing job prospects and pay. Partnerships with local schools and tech groups could help promote and support the camps.
With 2016 marking the milestone of my tenth consecutive Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, I went through all my blog posts, Flickr photos, presentations, and other materials to see what stood out. It covers drones, virtual reality, 3D TVs, 3D printing, and much more.
Cutting the Gordian Knot — Michael Peter Edson, We Are Museums 2019Michael Edson
This document contains the script for a 15 minute talk on cutting the Gordian knot as a metaphor for solving difficult problems through direct action. It discusses three main defects in museum practice: being too cautious, overestimating indirect action, and being too slow. It argues that museums have tools like institutions, reputation, and convening power but rarely use them convincingly to achieve civic goals. To address issues like climate change, poverty and extremism, museums need to take bolder, more direct action and spend the trust they have earned on important causes, rather than remaining cautious.
This document discusses social networks from various perspectives. It begins by looking at early pioneers like Tim Berners-Lee and usenet groups. It then examines specific social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, Last.fm, Twitter and Dopplr. Key aspects covered include their origins, defining features, how and where they are used, and the underlying human motivations for using social networks. The document concludes by discussing the potential for crowdsourcing wisdom and knowledge from large groups of individuals.
The document discusses how technology has changed how groups can interact and be together. It explores polarities around togetherness and separateness, interacting and publishing, and individual and group identities. It then examines how different orientations like meetings, projects, relationships, and individual participation can be supported through various technologies. Examples are provided of how the Birdwatchers community and KM4Dev network demonstrate different orientations. The document is intended to help people identify what technologies and tools might best support their specific community's needs and activities.
The document provides an overview of a social networks introduction event being held at the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) in Galway, Ireland. It discusses the history and purpose of social networking services, some of the major social networking sites, and the breakout session topics that will be covered at the event, including the future of social networks, trust and privacy issues, and evaluation strategies for social networks. Food is available downstairs or across the road at the Westwood Hotel. The afternoon sessions will include breakout discussions on various topics related to social networks.
Training for people creating new online communities. It includes guiding principles for participation, planning and getting started, creating and maintaining a content roadmap, and online community management.

5 Communications Trends Affecting Business And EducationJeffrey Stewart
This document summarizes a presentation about communications trends affecting business and education. It outlines five key technologies: ubiquitous broadband connectivity, the searchable web, social media networks, asking and collaborating online, and telepresence in the cloud. It provides examples of how each technology is used and their impact on organizations, learning, and work. The presentation argues that these technologies require new skills for students and workers, including being information seekers, critical thinkers, knowledge creators, effective communicators, and responsible digital citizens.
The document discusses the role of technology stewards in online learning communities. It describes how technology stewards select and configure technologies to support community needs and practices. This involves addressing tensions between togetherness and separateness, interacting and publishing, and individual and group needs. Technology stewards also help enable learners to discover useful technologies, participate in communities and networks, develop their identity, find and create content, and participate meaningfully.
The document discusses the concept of "community" and how it relates to learning. It explores where individuals, small groups, and large networks fall on a continuum and how people's efforts can be aimed at different points on this continuum. The document also considers how facilitating roles, practices, and enabling participation across this continuum could support learning and connection.
Me, We and Everyone: navigating the spaces between individuals, groups and ne...Nancy Wright White
This document discusses how individuals, groups, and networks interact using technology. It explores the continuum between an individual's personal identity and interests and their participation in larger communities and networks. It suggests that technology allows people to be together in new ways, and encourages considering how to best support individuals, groups, and networks through practices like facilitating participation, cultivating relationships, and enabling content sharing.
Slides from the talk I presented March 17th at the IOC Online Conference http://www.internationalonlineconference.org/2010/program - I made a few post-talk adjustments to include some of the interactions and screen shots of the work of Dan Porter who provided live, electronic graphic recording of the talk.
The document discusses the concepts of Web 2.0 and how it relates to education and pedagogy. It describes key aspects of Web 2.0 like wikis, blogs, social networking sites, tagging, and user-generated content. It also discusses how these Web 2.0 technologies can be applied in educational contexts through blogging, wikis, social objects, and RSS feeds. Challenges of privacy in blogging are also mentioned. The document advocates taking advantage of Web 2.0's emphasis on collaboration, participation and user-generated content to develop new pedagogical approaches.
Business Social Networking - part 1: cultural and historical perspective #BSN...Roberto Lofaro
This book is based on two drafts/concepts (on social networking and marketing, and social networking and security) that I had registered with WGA in 2008, before giving a non-exclusive license to part of the material to contribute to a marketing book, and preparing to contribute to a book on networking (technology and methods; eventually my participation was scuttled), extensively revised and updated in 2013.
The second volume, initially forecast for 2015, was not published due to a potential conflict of interest (a contract started in 2015 that ended in 2018)
Therefore, it will be revised and published in late 2018, with a focus on social networking and marketing, six months after the enforcement of GDPR (i.e. forecast for early December 2018).
This short book (or extended essay) is just part of a series of collected thoughts and analysis.
Focus: the impact of social and technological change on traditional management practices.
Aim: to raise informed questions, not to provide answers

Communities, Networks and Engagement: Finding a Place for ActionNancy Wright White
This document discusses communities, networks, and engagement from three perspectives: sponsors, facilitators/leaders, and members. It outlines basic vocabulary like purpose, activities, and roles. It also covers engagement strategies across different lifecycles like informal networks, formal organizations, and communities of practice. Key roles in online communities are discussed like facilitators, community leaders, and technology stewards. The importance of balancing the needs of sponsors, facilitators, and members is emphasized.
- The document discusses the current state of the social graph and challenges around interoperability between social networks and applications. It proposes using open standards and protocols like OpenID, OAuth, FOAF and XFN to help connect the "Giant Global Graph" and enable applications to access social data across platforms.
- Issues around privacy, personas and syncing social data between sites are examined. The ideal is described as a world where applications can easily access the social graph while respecting user privacy and control over their data.
- Small steps are being taken using these open standards to work towards the ideal of a fully interoperable social graph not controlled by any single company.
The document discusses several topics related to social networks and web technologies:
1. It discusses various conferences focused on social networking, web applications, and related topics.
2. It covers issues around social network portability and how users can access their social graph data across different services. Both lightweight and heavyweight approaches are mentioned.
3. Trends in the roles of users, designers, and developers are discussed in the context of changes in technologies and how people use the web. The impact on the culture of education and startups is also summarized.

It also covers engagement strategies across different lifecycles like informal networks, formal organizations, and communities of practice. Key roles in online communities are discussed like facilitators, community leaders, and technology stewards. The importance of balancing the needs of sponsors, facilitators, and members is emphasized.
- The document discusses the current state of the social graph and challenges around interoperability between social networks and applications. It proposes using open standards and protocols like OpenID, OAuth, FOAF and XFN to help connect the "Giant Global Graph" and enable applications to access social data across platforms.
- Issues around privacy, personas and syncing social data between sites are examined. The ideal is described as a world where applications can easily access the social graph while respecting user privacy and control over their data.

Daniel Appelquist's Presentation at Emerging Communication Conference & Award...eCommConf
The document discusses the emergence of the "Social Web" as a more universal and open alternative to centralized social networks like Facebook and Twitter. It argues that the Social Web would allow users to seamlessly interact across different social applications using common open protocols and standards, taking their social graph and data with them, rather than being locked into a single network. Key requirements for the Social Web include common APIs, data models, security protocols, and unique identifiers to allow interoperability across decentralized social applications and networks. Several companies and organizations are working on aspects of the Social Web through open standards and protocols.
The document discusses the evolution of social web technologies towards more open and decentralized standards like OpenID, OAuth, and portable contacts. It describes the pain points that these standards aim to address, such as users having to repeatedly sign up and re-enter information across different social networks. It outlines how these standards are being adopted by major players and are helping to realize the vision of giving users control over their own social data and identity.

The document summarizes key trends in web technology presented by Richard MacManus of ReadWriteWeb, including:
1) Web sites are becoming web services and pages are less central, with data and APIs driving most activity. This moves the web towards being more intelligent.
2) Semantic web technologies aim to make data on the web more structured and machine-readable to enable computers to better analyze and understand information.
3) Open data, social graphs, and mobile web applications are expanding the amount of available data and the ways users can access and share information across different platforms and devices.
4) Recommendation engines are becoming more personalized by combining individual, social, and item-based approaches to
The document discusses the DiSo project, which aims to create an open and distributed social network as an alternative to centralized social platforms like Facebook and Google. It notes the lack of tools to effectively organize ourselves and the desire for a social space that brings our online and offline lives closer together. The document outlines some principles for an open social architecture, including user control over identity and data sharing, access between services, and portable user profiles and contacts. It argues that more open sharing leads to greater willingness to share, and envisions an "Open Social Stack" using open protocols and formats for cross-site social networking.
This document provides an overview of social network analysis, including key concepts, tools, and best practices. It discusses how little is known about social networks scientifically and encourages experimentation. Key points covered include common network metrics, tools for analysis, and cautions about making assumptions without proper experimentation. The overall message is that social network science is still emerging but offers opportunities to better understand networks through a scientific approach.
1. The document discusses the history and future of semantic web technologies, including lessons learned and trends. It notes that semantic web's strength is in data aggregation rather than data management.
2. Two scenarios involving expressing claims in RDFa and linking from a homepage are presented, showing how trust can come from linked information.
3. Recent and emerging trends in user interfaces, search engines, and services are moving towards a more machine-readable web where pages make claims and datasets are interconnected.
The document discusses the evolution of the web from Web 1.0 to the proposed Web 3.0. Web 1.0 consisted of static, text-based pages, while Web 2.0 added user-generated content and applications. Web 3.0, also called the Semantic Web, aims to make data on the web more accessible and useful by adding metadata and structure using technologies like RDF, RDFS, OWL, and SPARQL. Microformats are presented as a simpler way to add semantics by reusing existing web standards. Open data and APIs are also discussed as ways to freely share and combine data. Examples of sites using these approaches are provided.
The document discusses how the Dopplr travel app shares data and integrates with other platforms and services in order to maximize possibilities for reuse. It covers topics like sharing travel data through feeds, using OpenID for user identity, importing social networks, delegating authority through OAuth, creating widgets/plugins for sites like Facebook, and using Amazon Web Services for hosting. The goal is to design Dopplr as a "small piece loosely joined" that builds upon existing internet platforms and technologies.

It first discusses the technology blogs Gizmodo, GigaOM, and ZDNet. It then summarizes the business blogs Quora, PandoDaily, and WiseBread. Finally, it briefly outlines the entertainment blogs BuzzFeed, Juggling.TV, and PuppetVision.
The document also summarizes several popular web-based collaboration tools including Dropbox, Evernote, Google Drive, LinkedIn, and WordPress blogs. It concludes with a short description of the e-commerce platform Shopify.
The document discusses the shift of power from states to large technology companies ("WebCos") that control computing capabilities and internet transactions. It also talks about how the internet allows citizens to be entertained for free through various online services and models. Social networking online has many advantages over real-world socializing as it doesn't require physical venues and allows for quick community growth. Early virtual worlds like Second Life offered total virtuality while modern social networks focus more on hosting basic tools for group interaction.
This document discusses open data and open government. It notes that open government aims to increase transparency so citizens know what government is and is not doing correctly. It then discusses how technology like cloud computing and open data initiatives could help modernize government and make it more transparent, efficient and responsive to citizen needs and wants. However, governments often find it difficult to experiment with new technologies. The document advocates for the release of more open government data using open standards to fuel innovation, engage citizens and strengthen trust in government institutions.
SUG - Singapore - Use of Social communication in the next generation of businessMark Stokes
These are the slides for my presentation to the Singapore SharePoint User Group in September 2014.
I have added some extra points, based on the discussion topics around different cultures and End User Adoption.
Connection for Innovation - Petter Coffee - Avanxo Cloud Forum 2013 Avanxo
This document discusses how connection and collaboration can drive innovation. It argues that legacy IT systems made simple data integration difficult, focusing more on historical data than enabling knowledge sharing. True innovation now comes from unexpected connections between specialists from different fields and disciplines. The future of IT is in connected workflows and mobility, not just desktop computing. For innovation to thrive, systems must be open, customizable, and incentivize knowledge sharing between diverse contributors in online communities. Trust and security are also important for connections to provide value instead of just modernizing existing IT.
Semelhante a Web 2.0 Expo Berlin: Open Platforms and the Social Graph (20)
Decentralized Social Networks - WebVisions 2009David Recordon
One theme of 2008 that has led into 2009 is the idea of social networks transforming from monolithic individual sites to peer sites that share people, content, information.
Technologies such as OpenID, OAuth, OpenSocial and Portable Contacts can be combined to help create this vision, though what will it actually look like when it works?
This talk will look at the philosophical changes being led by companies like MySpace, Google, Plaxo and Six Apart, their impact on social networks like Facebook which traditionally haven't embraced this vision, and how these technologies are being used to make this vision reality.
A Social Web Intro at the Internet Identity WorkshopDavid Recordon
Chris Messina, John McCrea and David Recordon used these slides to frame a discussion around what's happening on the Social Web, the product experiences that need to be built and the technologies behind them. From the Internet Identity Workshop (IIW) in May of 2009.
The document outlines the key components of social networks including profiles, relationships, content, and activity. It discusses how viewing profiles and relationships can lead to the discovery of new content, which then encourages further sharing, creating a virtuous cycle that drives social networks. Connecting people through shared interests and making new discoveries is the goal.
Learning from Apache to create Open SpecificationsDavid Recordon
The document discusses building open specifications for the social web. It notes that open data and services are increasingly important as more things move online. It outlines several existing open specifications for identity, discovery, authorization, relationships, and activities. These specifications were developed similarly to open source software, with communities creating freely implementable standards. However, open specifications still face challenges around licensing, copyright, communities, and incubation of new specifications. The document proposes the Open Web Foundation to address these challenges by licensing specifications freely, using Creative Commons for copyright, supporting communities, and incubating new open web specifications.
This document shows support for the open web through various open source projects represented by icons and logos. It depicts many foundational open source technologies like Linux, Apache, Python, PHP, MySQL, Firefox, WordPress, Drupal, jQuery, and more that power much of the modern web in a decentralized, collaborative manner through open licensing and development.
The document discusses building open platforms and social applications. It lists several things platforms need, including ways to share information, communicate, identify people and their connections, and know what others are doing. The document also notes that combining simple but well-designed features from different applications can create new shared value and building blocks for further innovation.
The document discusses open platforms in Web 2.0 and their potential. It notes that social applications each have great features that can create combined value when used together. As more networked devices are created, they will all need ways to share information, communicate, identify users and connections. However, open platforms must also consider privacy as standards emerge.
OpenID Foundation Japan Chapter AnnouncementDavid Recordon
The document discusses the growing adoption of OpenID as a single sign-on protocol for user authentication on the internet. It notes that over 10,000 websites now support OpenID login and that there are well over 250 million OpenIDs in use. OpenID allows users to log into multiple websites using a single digital identity and prevents websites from having access to user's login credentials. The OpenID Foundation was established to promote and develop OpenID as the framework for user-centric identity on the web.
The document discusses OpenID, an open standard for decentralized authentication on the web. OpenID allows users to log into multiple websites using a single digital identity and URL. It provides single sign-on capabilities without requiring people to use the same username and password on different sites. The document outlines how OpenID works, its security features, adoption rates with over 160 million users, and implementations in both consumer and enterprise applications.
Digital ID World 2007 - Understanding OpenidDavid Recordon
The document discusses OpenID, a decentralized authentication protocol that allows users to log into multiple websites using a single digital identity. OpenID is gaining popularity, with over 120 million users, and is being adopted by major companies like Sun Microsystems, 37signals, and Tim O'Reilly who see its potential. The OpenID Foundation is working to promote OpenID through marketing, legal protections for the trademark, and encouraging technical development. Sun is also exploring using OpenID within enterprises through their OpenID@Work program to understand business use cases.
This document discusses OpenID, a single sign-on protocol for the web. OpenID allows users to log into multiple websites using a single digital identity and is decentralized, with no single point of failure. The document provides information on how OpenID works, the basic roles of OpenID providers and relying parties, and how to enable OpenID on a website using one's own server and URL.
This document appears to be an agenda for a bootcamp on OpenID being presented by Simon Willison and David Recordon. The summary includes:
1) The bootcamp will provide an introduction to basic OpenID concepts, how to create and use an OpenID, discuss adoption history and status, and address security concerns.
2) It will also cover security solutions for OpenID, innovative uses of OpenID in code, and include a question and answer session.
3) OpenID is presented as a decentralized single sign-on mechanism that solves issues like having too many passwords, username squatting, and scattered online profiles across many sites. Users can claim and prove ownership of an OpenID URL for authentication

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Source award
8. Social Networks
• Generally mammoths
• Lots of 80% complete features
• Lock-in business models
• Strong competition with
each other
• A long tail of social networks
is evolving
9. Social Applications
• Each with a few great features
(UNIX philosophy)
• Data portability - mashups
(RSS, Atom, OpenID, Microformats)
• Creating combined value
Combined value as they don't compete to do everything, rather compete within their area of
expertise
10. social networks have your friends
- You've spent time defining them in each one you use
12. social applications
- But it isn't Dopplr's fault
- Hacks such as scraping address books
- No current way to get the social graph without asking for it, choosing a proprietary
platform, or only riding on the back of these social networks

16. So what about platforms?
OpenSocial
- None of these services interoperate (with rare exceptions of RSS support)
- Not a new problem
- OpenSocial is promising, though both Facebook and Netvibes UWA are successful
17. So what about platforms?

20. open platforms shouldn't be
about big company political
battles
- This isn't about Facebook <em>or</em Google, it is about the web itself
21. quot;IM Warsquot;
- Their IM networks couldn't interoperate either
- People were forced to pick one
- Hacky solutions such as Trillian and Adium -- not real interoperability
- Going where their friends are
22. Jabber / XMPP
- Still evolving, but providing true interoperability between walled gardens

26. Identity Silos
- Have to create a new account everywhere you go
- Poor security using the same password everywhere, hack one account get them all
- Overwhelming
27. Identity Silos
- Have to create a new account everywhere you go
- Poor security using the same password everywhere, hack one account get them all
- Overwhelming
28. - Decentralized identity
- Reduce the number of accounts
- Strongly protect your OpenIDs
- Session dedicated to OpenID Wednesday afternoon
29. HOSTS
- Examples of non-emerging technologies
- Had to FTP a single quot;HOSTSquot; file around to resolve all names
- Couldn't get to new sites until they were in the file and you fetched the updated file
- Didn't scale
30. DNS
- Changes automatically propagate
- Made sysadmins happy
- More complicated than a white-space line-break separated file, but it scales
31. Segregated Messaging
- Most successful example of centralization -> decentralization
- 1960s demonstrated at MIT, required all users be on the same server
32. Email
SMTP as you know it today
- Took until the 1980s for SMTP to become popular
- Couldn't imagine a World without interoperable email
33. Centralization
- Social networks today are generally centralized
- Remember the business model of quot;lock-inquot;
- By making open platforms via open technologies, the social networks can become
decentralized
34. Centralization
(Why can't a LiveJournal user friend an Orkut user?)
- Social networks today are generally centralized
- Remember the business model of quot;lock-inquot;
- By making open platforms via open technologies, the social networks can become
decentralized
35. Centralization
(Why can't a LiveJournal user friend an Orkut user?)
(If Orkut supported OpenID and RSS they could!)
- Social networks today are generally centralized
- Remember the business model of quot;lock-inquot;
- By making open platforms via open technologies, the social networks can become
decentralized
37. it's harder
(but we always get there)
- Scale
- Data duplication / re-entry
- Business decisions (geeks want to do the right thing)
- Interoperability standards
38. quot;Either social networks will keep their walls up
to force individuals to choose, or they will open
up in the hope that they'll get the
customer even if their competitor
does, too.quot;
O'Reilly Radar
- Dopplr, don't go there for everything
- Not trying to steal users, let them go there
- This is not a zero-sum game
- Traditional network eects
39. quot;A lot that you have heard here is about
platforms and who is going to win. That is
Paleolithic thinking. The Web has already won.
The web is the Platform.quot;
Jeff Huber - Google (Web 2.0 Summit '07)
- There won't be just one walled platform, interop is a must
- This battle was tried in the 1990s and was lost
- HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML
- There will be many social networks and social applications
40. quot;As long as people feel that if they don't like
what we're doing they can just switch, then that
keeps us honest and keeps everybody else
honest as well.quot;
Eric Schmidt (Web 2.0 Summit '06)
- This year has had a trend reinforcing decentralization
- With the move toward services in the cloud, data import/export is increasingly important
- Good to see the large services understand this
41. Open Data is increasingly
important as services
move online
Tim O'Reilly (OSCON '07)
- Hosted services change the quot;openquot; game
- Data is as important as source
42. quot;Proprietary platforms based on the web are
ice cubes. They can, for a time, suspend
themselves above the web at large. But over
time, they only ever melt into the water. And
maybe they make it better when they do.quot;
Anil Dash - Six Apart (Dashes.com 2007)
- Embracing open technologies earlier will get you more later when others catch up
- Proprietary platforms, like tried in the 1990s, don't survive forever
43. So to Recap...
• I like social networks and social applications
• I like my friends
• I hate finding my friends again
• Decentralized technologies end up winning
• The web is the platform
• OpenSocial allows light-weight applications
to run on potentially thousands of social
networks (more detailed talk at 15:50)
44. social graph
(another type of user generated/owned data)
- Social graph already exists as Zuckerberg said
- Everyone is having to map it out
- Every user is declaring their own maps
- The user maps are THEIR data, not the services they're giving it to
55. How are they open?
• Open standards
(RSS, Atom, XFN, FOAF, hCard, OpenID)
• Publish, not just aggregate
• Manage my friends across networks and
republish them for social applications
- So via Lifestreams I can comment on a blog and have it published on the blog
59. OAuth
(emerging standard; quot;your valet key for the webquot;)
- Standardized existing duplicate protocols from Google, Yahoo!, AOL, and Microsoft
- Remove the need to ask for email provider passwords
60. What is OAuth?
• Distributed authorization
• Open community specification
• Converging proprietary specifications from
Flickr, Google,Yahoo!, AOL, and Microsoft
• With the involvement of Flickr,Yahoo!, and
Google!
- Companies had very similar specs
- Wouldn't use each others
- Would use an open version from the community
- Really important for sharing non-public data
78. So how can we all make this happen?
- Today you'll be laughed at if you say you're a blog site and have no RSS/Atom
- Want to get to the same thing for social networks oering an analogous form of data
interop
- To make it just as easy to move it, share it, mash it up as it is with blogs
79. markup and share data
- Microformats, FOAF, RSS, Atom, etc
- Format wars don't benefit users, we don't care where the curly braces go
82. put the people in control
- History shown
- Network eects as David said
- Decentralization
83. privacy is important
(As seen on Facebook and others)
- Just fully public or fully private doesn't cut it
- Share with your friends
84. Email Hashing
• david@sixapart.com becomes
b448b79a2380daec5578d8df767c7b639c745250
• Protects against SPAM
• Doesn't protect against account linking
• Six Apart doesn't share your hash if you're not
sharing you're email
- Have to think about all aspects of privacy when running services
85. provide context outside your walls
if users want to link accounts, allow it...they may even link to
your service from another profile
86. Who does this right with XFN?
• Wordpress
• Twitter
• Pownce
• LiveJournal
• Google Profiles
• TypePad
• Movable Type, LiveJournal, and Vox coming soon
- Markup both on the service and outside the service
- Context matters for XFN rel-me
88. make your network
more accessible
You can't fight it forever...David beats Goliath
- As seen with content, services will just scrape you if they want it
- Proactively sharing while respecting privacy reduces your own server load
- Talk of nasty hacks within the browser for uncooperative services
89. Real-time Stream of
Relationship Changes
http://updates.elsewhere.im
coming soon
- As a way to make more accessible
- Allows real-time relationship changes to be noted across services
- Don't have to quot;pingquot; every news feed service that you're now friends with me
90. We Have the Tools
• Identity
• Data formats
• Distributed authorization OAuth
• Distributed applications OpenSocial
• Translators
• Open aggregators
• Realtime data Streams, PubSub
91. Now we all need to weave them together!
- Watch for developments in this space
- quot;social graphquot; as a tag
- O'Reilly Radar, TechCrunch
92. Questions?
