Because Without Patents, No One Would Ever Come Up With News Feeds from the no-status-updates-allowed dept A bunch of folks are talking about a patent that was recently granted to Facebook (7,669,123) that covers creating an automatically generated news feed based on things that you do. While not quite as broad as some of the original reports claimed, it's still fairly broad, and highlights pretty clearly how ridiculous the patent system is.

"The MGED Society is an international organization of biologists, computer scientists, and data analysts that aims to facilitate biological and biomedical discovery through data integration. Our approach is to promote the sharing of large data sets generated by high throughput functional genomics technologies. Historically, MGED began with a focus on microarrays and gene expression data. However, the scope of MGED now includes data generated using any technology when applied to genome-scale studies of gene expression, binding, modification and other related applications. Members of MGED work to establish standards for data quality, management, annotation and exchange; facilitate the creation of tools that leverage these standards; and work with other standards organizations and promoting the sharing of high quality, well annotated data within the life sciences and biomedical communities."

"Since Google's acquisition of Trendalyzer two years ago, we have been working on creating a new service that make lots of data instantly available for intuitive, visual exploration."

I'm not sure why this would take two years. Google's pace of innovation is *really* slowing down.

I keep meaning to post a blog entry about the bad experience I've had with OpenID lately. I used to be a proponent but now I'm no longer even really a fan.

In this episode we talk with Mike Kirkwood, Johannes Ernst and Chris Messina, all running for a community seat on the openid foundation board, about the foundation, their goals and the future and issues of OpenID.

"I blogged about my thoughts to have a more holistic solution approach to solve the comment-aggregation issue based on OpenID. Would love to get your feedback on my thoughts! - You (edit | delete)"

"blogged about the thought if it wouldn't make sense to enable OpenSocial to work in an distributed environment? Why not adding apps on my profile, which I have on my DiSo enabled Wordpress blog?"

You can already use a Google OpenID on any consumer website which supports the 2.0 spec. I tried it with ma.gnolia and Dopplr and did a few screenshots to document it.

As soon we will reach the point at which we will have a real data portability and a technology which decouple us from specific platforms - because my data, social network information etc. will be updated in real-time independently from the service I use - we will see a renaissance of awesome interfaces.

Who's supplying the data? How would it be done? How secure would it be?

tbh - I can't answer you those questions - ask the guys who are all working on the data portability side - this post more points out, what could happen, if we have this situation - in the end I think the data side will be much more user-centric.

quote: "I have talked recently to quite a few makers of virtual worlds and most of them don’t have the topic “data portability” really on their agenda, yet. A few of them even see it as a big threat to their business model. But let me explain, why they should care about data portability from the very beginning."
