Glow.io ist das neue DiSo-Projekt von Darren Bounds (Cliqset):
The simple fact is, Glow is my personal attempt at building a social network that doesn’t sacrifice simplicity, features or user-experience in an effort to promote decentralization, user privacy and data ownership.
WebHome hört sich ein bisschen nach OStatus for WordPress an:
WebHome is a “movement,” aimed at the creation of a global, decentralized, open social network that is not tied to any specific company, software or website. And it turns out that we already have plenty of network technologies and tools that can help us connect social profiles, wherever they are located.
Das W3C über das “Standards-based, Open and Privacy-aware Social Web“.
While the best known current social networking sites on the Web limit themselves to relationships between people with accounts on a single site, the Social Web should extend across the entire Web. Just as people can call each other no matter which telephone provider they belong to, just as email allows people to send messages to each other irrespective of their e-mail provider, and just as the Web allows links to any website, so the Social Web should allow people to create networks of relationships across the entire Web, while giving people the ability to control their own privacy and data.
Das W3C startet einen Identity in the Browser Workshop:
As the Web becomes increasingly a focal point for economic and social activity, there is an urgent need for trustworthy, widely-applicable digital identity management. This includes the need for authentication and authorization to work across multiple web-sites, enterprises, devices, and browsers in a uniform and easy-to-use manner.
Leider scheint Chris Messina nicht dabei zu sein… mir hat seine damalige Konzeptstudie sehr gut gefallen!
