“Low hills closed in on either side as the train eventually crawled on to high, tabletop grasslands creased with snow. Birds ﬂew at window level. I could see lakes of an unreal cobalt blue to the north. The train pulled into a sprawling rail yard: the Kazakh side of the Kazakhstan- China border. . . .

“Workers unhitched the cars, lifted them, one by one, ten feet high with giant jacks, and replaced the wide-gauge Russian undercarriages with narrower ones for the Chinese tracks. Russian gauges, still in use throughout the former Soviet Union, are wider than the world standard. The idea was to the prevent invaders from entering Russia by train. The changeover took hours.” — Robert D. Kaplan, The Ends of the Earth

VS VS The Open Web

the battle for the future of the social web has begun

it’s ultimately about freedom through ensuring your ability to choose

the “web citizen”

the web citizen has identity

the web citizen has provenance

the web citizen has mobility

the web citizen has friends

the web citizen has enemies

the web citizen has agency

How much are your username and password worth?

The Password Anti-pattern!

Passwords are not confetti.

And yet people throw them around as though they were.

Fortunately there’s a solution.

Messaging & Notiﬁcations

factoryjoe@twitter.com to walkah@identi.ca?

factoryjoe.com to walkah.com?

linkedin.com/mom to myspace.com/son & facebook.com/daughter ???

imagine drupal.org enabling people to “join” projects but maintain their proﬁles elsewhere.

imagine these people listing the projects they’ve joined on their proﬁles.

imagine “joining” a project just by linking to it.

Activities & Activity Streams

actor verb object [context]

Chris tweeted Niches bitches! from SMS

Chris bought The Matrix from Amazon.com

Open Stack

the open stack is a series of building blocks for enabling cross-site social networking using non-proprietary formats and protocols

usability is issue #1

how does it work?

uservoice.com

convenience fewer passwords increasing industry support

MySpace, Google, Yahoo, AOL, Flickr, etc...

Attribute Exchange

Origin

London, England

consider using OAuth to enable third-party access to user data without requiring passwords

OAuth can also be used for user veriﬁcation — similar to OpenID but without a claimed ID — you end up with a token for the user

Drupal should advertise all of its available services and their respective endpoints using XRDS-Simple

Drupal should also advertise all of a user’s speciﬁc services using XRDS-Simple

Portable Contacts

bring your friends with you and take them with you when you leave

vcard + OpenSocial schema

Baked into OpenSocial v0.8

This is 50% of the solution to the password anti-pattern. The other 50% is OAuth. Fortunately, PoCo requires OAuth.

For Drupal sites that want to enable people to invite their friends in a safe way, PoCo is the solution

For user proﬁle schema, Drupal should use the PoCo schema to achieve wide compatibility

test harness hcard to vcard to PoCo Plaxo is an early PoCo provider

of course we need feeds.

ATOM pubsub

some challenge with XML-RPC and OAuth

Consider wider support for publishing to Drupal with ATOM

but webpages can be feeds too! And as we saw with the jQuery talk, you can do powerful stuff with just HTML and javascript!

hCard for people hCalendar for events XFN for identity & social graphs hAudio for music ...etc...

it’s good for search engines and it’s good for designers why not for Drupal?

Start with syndicating structured data in ATOM using microformats

Microformats complement other semantic efforts within Drupal. Start with POSH.
