Chromium Blog: Google Chrome, Chromium, and Google - http://blog.chromium.org/2008...
"Google takes [the Google Chromium] source code, and adds on the Google name and logo, an auto-updater system called GoogleUpdate, and RLZ (described later in this post), and calls this Google Chrome. As such, everything which applies to Chromium below also applies to Google Chrome, while there are some things that apply to Google Chrome (such as the auto-updater) that do not apply to Chromium." Further: instructions on how to disable communication between Chromium and Google, such as Search Suggest, Safe browsing, Suggestions for navigation Errors and Which Google Domain - Pascal Van Hecke

AOL Adopts the hNews Microformat | dev.aol.com - http://dev.aol.com/hnews
"AOL sees microformats as increasingly important to its business. By properly utilizing hNews we can now clearly define which blocks of content are specific to the article content as apposed to the cross promotional content or ads also found on the page which can dilute the relevance of a particular page as seen by search engines." Sounds like a technique that will be used for seo purposes as well... - Pascal Van Hecke

Hybrid Onboarding Guide (Google OAuth & Federated Login Research) - http://sites.google.com/site...
"the term "hybrid onboarding" refers to a technique that is used to improve the user registration rate on a website by leveraging a number of Internet standards including OpenID, OAuth and Portable Contacts. This combination has been used to increase registration rates to as high as 90%." - Pascal Van Hecke
IdentityBlog - Digital Identity, Privacy, and the Internet's Missing Identity Layer - http://www.identityblog.com/...
Kim Cameron on identity selectors and OpenID: "active client software (also called an “Identity Selector”) for OpenID could solve most of its problems, given some minor revisions or additions to the protocol. By remembering the identities you use, this kind of software can address two sets of issues: * Usability: Lets you bring your identities with you to the site, rather than the site having to guess what identities you have * Security: Protects you from being sent to a malicious site impersonating a real site that would steal your password " - Pascal Van Hecke

Scott Rafer's Blog : Facebook's Priorities - http://rafer.tumblr.com/post...
"If you help FB spread their JS and Authentication out into the world, they will support you until their network is too big to stop. They are at roughly 20,000 publishers now. At ~200,000 publishers, watch out! Their priorities will change again and they will start taking cash out of the FB Connect network instead of providing it with free traffic." - Pascal Van Hecke

YSlow :: Add-ons for Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US...

[German] Urteil (Il-)Legalität von Personensuchmaschinen – Datenschutzrechtliche Grenzen für yasni, 123people & Co - Internetrecht Kanzlei Stuttgart - http://www.rechtzweinull.de/index...
Using pictures that a user has uploaded her/himself to a site, but for which that user has given no permission for reuse, is forbidden: "Das aktuelle Urteil des LG Köln (Az. 28 O 662/08) gebietet dem Treiben der diversen Suchmaschinen nun deutlich Einhalt, indem es eine ausländische Personensuchmaschine dazu verurteilt hat, die Veröffentlichung von Bildern ohne Zustimmung des jeweiligen Betroffenen zu unterlassen." I don't see any arguments why this reasoning would not apply to Google's and Bing's face search... - Pascal Van Hecke
