"The ad industry is built on an industrial era principle: waging war (on people)." -@UmairHaque http://blogs.harvardbusiness.org/haque... #capitalism20
"Let's make the point crystal clear: what Google did differently from any company before (or since) was to make people's choices about ads count economically." - Eric Johnson
"Waging peace — makings ads less about force, and more about choice — is what made Google radical. And if today's entrepreneurs are clever enough to stop waging war on Google, and wage peace for people instead — the Google era will come to a swift end." - Eric Johnson
"Actually, cancel that last sentence. Here's the real point: if today's boardrooms are smart enough to stop waging war on each other, and begin waging peace for people instead — by making everything less about force, and more about choice — the lame, brain-dead industrial era will, finally, come to a long overdue end." - Eric Johnson

New Blog Post: An open, realtime, social WordPress platform soon? http://joss.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/2009... #openid #oauth #xmpp #openmicroblogging
Some interesting developments for sure. I particularly like the idea of being able to spin off discussions around a topic through the medium of your choosing. Although it will cause further complications for blogs as it might eat into their unique content (comment threads especially) that help them rank in google. Although perhaps that won't be such a problem if discussions still leave a visible trail back to the origin. - Sam

What is this OpenID Everyone Speaks Of? - http://pixelbits.wordpress.com/2008...
I hate OpenID. Password managers contradict all of OpenID's advantages. - Larry Hudson
Maybe I'm stupid. But I just don't get it. - Mona Nomura from IM
It's meant to make life easier but all it does is make life harder, not to mention limiting some of our accounts on services. - Andrew Trinh
Limiting? Explain, please. - Mona Nomura from IM
I get it...but I don't. - Adriana
I like the idea of OpenID, unfortunately the lackluster adoption of consumers of OpenID makes it pretty much meaningless. I run a provider on my domain so I can login as mernisse@ub3rgeek.net but the only place I've ever gotten it to work was livejournal... - matthew john ernisse
Ok. I see Open ID everywhere. I know what it is, but I never use it. - Ian May
Adoption of consumers? Tell me WHY consumers should care? It's not like the project is partnered with merchants (ebay, paypal, banks, etc.). HOW is this relevant to us? Everyday people - consumers? - Mona Nomura from IM
Logging in without passwords doesn't sound good to you? - Nathan Howell
Password managers? My browsers already come with it and there are tons of free programs. Why should I take the time to figure out how to claim my OpenID? - Mona Nomura from IM
My password manager on Firefox (sxipper) is pretty sweet but it doesn't help me when I'm not in Firefox or not on my primary computer. - Daniel J. Pritchett
This is the most rational discussion of OpenID I've ever seen. - Dave Winer
Links put in blog comments which are supposed to point back to other blogs which cite / quote the current blog. The spam is when the links lead to something which is completely non-relevant and "Spammy". - Robert Miller
Daniel et al, thank you. I'm deleting the comments pertaining to trackback spam so we can get back to the OpenID discussion. I see a lot of advocates on FF - where are they? - Mona Nomura from IM
Not having another copy of your password on every site's database is one good reason. - Rodfather
Here's a great video that explains OpenId, with music and animation. http://bit.ly/fljz - Dave Winer
Good point by Rob - if you use the same password for everything (come on, who doesn't?) then you're wide open the first time someone cracks the user database at any one site you visit. - Daniel J. Pritchett
And that is a very, very good thing. - Robert Miller
I like how sites like http://hypetape.com/ use Google Accounts login for their site. - Larry Hudson
Right now there is no reason to care about OpenID. Everyone is hopping on the provider bandwagon, but no one is hopping on the consumer bandwagon. Until you can actually login to things with it, it's kinda meaningless. I think the biggest advantage is that my authentication credentials are NEVER transmitted to anyplace other than the OpenID provider. So if the consumer site gets hacked (say livejournal), they can't steal my username or password. This is a moot point until you can USE the thing places. - matthew john ernisse
Google account logins are almost as useful as OpenID, just less idealistic. Zoho gets brilliance points for accepting both Google and Yahoo logins. That's only like 99% of the internet! - Daniel J. Pritchett
Yes, there are definitely too many providers and not enough consumers right now. It is still early for OpenID... it's just getting started. - Nathan Howell
I have used my OpenID account several places; just not all over. Then again, not using the same access all over seems like a good thing; in a twisted way. - Robert Miller
Hehe, OpenID is like 4 years old :) Sadly I'm not sure if it'll ever catch on enough, especially with Facebook and Google trying to roll their own. - matthew john ernisse
IMO the implementation of OID has been pretty clunky. It's a great idea in principle but when it's implemented it seems heavy and out of place. - Threepwood
Everyone's talking about info stored in respective databases but what about Amazon? PayPal? Ebay? etc., etc. Why should we start caring NOW? - Mona Nomura from IM
Toss in Bank accounts and Utility accounts. - Robert Miller
I haven't bothered to find about OpenID either. So, if OpenID gets hacked, what happens? - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
People have always died of diseases. Why should we start caring NOW? ;-) Progress has to start sometime. - Nathan Howell
Eventually, we'll end up with an embedded chip that will replace all logins, passport, driver's license, social security number, credit/debit cards, door locks, and ya.. - Rodfather
What was wrong with Microsoft's Passport? - Andrew Smith
Where will the chip be embedded -- in your ass? - Dave Winer
The idea is supposed to be that a higher-level of security surrounds the OID account. I get a verification phone call each time a login is done against my account. - Robert Miller
Passport was controlled by one company. OpenId is distributed among many. - Nathan Howell
I think I will pass on the embedded chip. - Robert Miller
MSFT's Pass FAIL was due to timing and their popularity, imho. Dave: LOL!! @Nathan: Point taken. - Mona Nomura
Very true. No one company owns the OpenId data. - Robert Miller
You have to have something between the ears; though I imagine it would be toss-up between that and the ass. - Robert Miller
OpenID is just a standard for authentication. If your OpenID provider gets hacked your exposure is most likely the same as if your individual account(s) got hacked. This is assuming that they store your password in a readable format. - matthew john ernisse
Well it's unintuitive for one. We (end users) are already becoming lazy and spoiled. The hunting and pecking just to claim your OpenID is tedious. - Mona Nomura
http://MyOpenId.com? No hunting, no pecking. - Robert Miller
So it seems a lot are in agreement that in theory, OpenID is "good" but in practice, it's like a chip getting stuck in our ass? - Mona Nomura
I do not completely agree with that as you can choose to use an OpenId or not, generally. - Robert Miller
I agree that OpenID needs some work, but I think unintuitive is probably the wrong word for it. My grandparents sure don't find the name/password mechanism intuitive. - Nathan Howell
@Mona Of course it's hard and unintuitive. This is a really stinking hard problem to solve and this is the best we've come up with so far. It is even a problem that most people don't even know (or care) exists. And to be fair, claiming your OpenID is stupid easy. You said you already have like 7. USING your OpenID is what is hard and what needs to be made better. - matthew john ernisse
Matthew: I agree, wholeheartedly, with your last sentence, "USING your OpenID is what is hard and what needs to be made better." - Robert Miller
matthew: Then I must be stupid, since I can not figure out HOW to claim it for the life of me. I click, then jump to another site, click again, get taken back to another site, click again... where is the end to the madness? And why would it benefit me *now*? - Mona Nomura from IM
@Mona you're not stupid. This is the problem with OpenID. Getting an ID is easy as cake, tons of sites provide them. Very few sites use them for anything useful. Which is exactly why it isn't useful for *anyone* now. - matthew john ernisse
Believe it or not, that is part of the claiming process; sort of like using PayPal to purchase something. - Robert Miller
So I keep clicking until I reach the end...? How would I explain this to real life friends of mine who are not technologically savvy and only use, say - Facebook and or Myspace? - Mona Nomura from IM
I don't mean to sound so difficult, I'm just trying to figure out a way to correlate relevance to every day people. Trust me, the more I learn about information, privacy, and various partnerships, I *want* to back OpenID. - Mona Nomura from IM
Mona, this is a pretty cool article about OpenId's pros and cons: http://blogs.atlassian.com/develop... - Shevonne
That is the clunkiness. It sucks right now. This will change as more companies who joined OpenId in the last year start to incorporate it as part of their offering. It will get better, evolve, or go away. Based on the member companies in the organization, I think it will have to evolve -- Something about having MS and Google involved tends to cause that. - Robert Miller
OpenID probably isn't useful to most people at this point. Most everybody already has at least one, but there aren't enough places to use it. - Nathan Howell
But will it be too late before Salesforce and Facebook roll out their enterprise partnership plans? As retarded as this may sound, my sudden interest is 90% due to them... I want to make sure all my non tech friends on Facebook understand teh stipulations and I need to find a way to explain it to them so they will understand. @Shevonne - thanks for the article, dude! - Mona Nomura from IM
I like Robert's PayPal analogy. Instead of buying something with the "Pay with your PayPal account" process, you sign up and log in to a site with the "Join using your Yahoo account" process. (Replace Yahoo with other OpenID providers as desired.) - Daniel J. Pritchett
I dunno if there is anyway to explain it. The problem is that trusting an anonymous 3rd party with the task of proving a user is who they say they are is hard, and so the process is ugly and painful. Password managers and such make not using OpenID so easy, even though they lead to the type of poor password practices that enable identity theft. That is a hard concept to sell to people. - matthew john ernisse
Nice article Shevonne. - Robert Miller
@Robert Thanks! I thought so too. - Shevonne
Good point Matthew - using weak password practices is really easy. Too bad we can't outlaw passwords, forcing everyone to use OpenID or something ;) - Daniel J. Pritchett
Mathews other part of that point was not just the bad password practices, but the password manager is only on the one computer. It takes a manual effort to load the password(s) on another computer and that just increases your exposure. Then again, I do not allow my browsers to hold my passwords. - Robert Miller
I use OpenID on my Laconica accounts, my Zooomr account, and my Slicehost. I wish I could use it everywhere, there is no reason to not support OpenID, just laziness and that excuse is wearing thin. - Bjorn Stromberg
Considering Facebook's propensity to ban accounts, I would have an issue with them serving OpenId accounts, but, obviously, not using as a client. - Robert Miller
I think OpenID is languishing in chicken-and-egg land. No site(s) supported using it because no trustworthy site(s) provided OIDs. Conversely no site(s) provided it because no site(s) were using it. Maybe now that more site(s) are providing OpenIDs, it will finally start to push site(s) to use it. - matthew john ernisse
Bjorn: Laconica is already over my head. I don't have an army like Leo to set up my own server on a micro-blogging site LOL - Mona Nomura from IM
Laconica is similar to OpenID in that you only need an account on one service to participate on all the other services. You just pick the server you like (for whatever reason) and away you go. - Bjorn Stromberg
When I first built Cullect.com - it only used OpenID. Now it supports 10 additional authentication services - and OpenID is the biggest challenge to support. - Garrick Van Buren
And that is the hurdle OpenId has to overcome. - Robert Miller
Garrick: I looked at Cullect and there's only three authentication services you have that don't ask for a username and password: OpenID, FriendFeed, and BackPack. Impersonation is not an acceptable alternative. Users shouldn't have to give away the keys to their kingdom to use your service. - Bjorn Stromberg
Here's an interesting article on making OpenID more usable: http://radar.oreilly.com/2008... - Nathan Howell
Nathan - thank you. THIS is why I love FriendFeed so much. Good, insightful discussions from all views. Will definitely be doing a follow-up post. Thanks, everyone! - Mona Nomura
"Relevance to every-day people"? Yawn. That old thing again. I stopped caring about that a long time ago. OpenID makes my life easier. If you are happy doing things inefficiently, feel free. I'll be able to put my feet up while you are doing all the stuff that takes me no time at all. I use OpenID for the same reason I use a command line rather than Windows, vim rather than Word - a bit of extra geekiness means a lot less work later on. - Tom Morris
Clickpass FTW! Sign up for my site using Clickpass and tell me the benefits aren't obvious. Look for the "Alternative registration/login" button below the regular login form: https://ourdoings.com/person... - Bruce Lewis from fftogo
I just DO NOT like OpenID. Good idea, poor implementation. - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
I use OpenID whenever I can. This meme of it's too hard and not understanding what problem it solves is kinda funny to me, especially coming from early adopters types. OpenID also shouldn't be looked at as a solution all by itself; if you think about it as part of a suite of solutions (with OAuth and Portable Contacts)--that helps. - Albert Willis
OpenID is a way to prove you own a URL. On it's own, that is not much of an improvement over entering your email and password on a site (except that they then can't spam you). However, URLs are places that sites can get more information - they can discover a feed, discover a profile that you want to share, discover an API to your contacts list and so on, saving you from having to re-enter all that stuff in every new site that can be made more useful by having them. That is the promise of OpenID. - Kevin Marks
OpenID has only two reasons for being 1. To control what you buy, or 2. to determine what you will buy so they can guide you to it. Same old users tracking these companies have been doing from the conception of the internet as we know it today. - John D Reasor
What does that mean? (control what you buy) - Mona Nomura from IM
I have to admit I was wondering that myself and figured I had just plain missed something. - Robert Miller
Maybe John is saying that many companies want to be OpenID providers so that they can track your usage of other sites, thus gathering data for targeted marketing. - Bruce Lewis
On the three or four sites I use that support OpenID, it has been awesome. From an end-user's point of view, the primary advantage of OpenID is that you've got one place for your avatar, your signatures, your contact info, and your user profile. Change it there, and it gets updated on all your website memberships. It solves a major password security problem, and the problem of managing your identity online in one punch. - Eric Hamilton
I don't even know why I'm posting in this, nobody'll read down this far. But people keep mentioning they want to CLAIM their OpenID. You do know you can claim them with claimid.com, and you can put ALL of them (flickr, yahoo, wordpress, etc) into that one claim? It might help you claim them, but I don't know if it'll help you use them. - Tom
So how does the authentication process work? Thanks for the info btw, good to know. (and yes, I read this far... IM notifications ftw!) - Mona Nomura from IM
type yahoo.com into the box. That's all I know ;-) - Duncan Riley
Tom, I don't think that's what ClaimID does. They give you an OpenID and a page that you can build a profile on. Part of that profile could be listing other OpenIDs you have, but it's not combining them. I don't know where the stuff about "claiming" OpenIDs is coming from. It's not really part of the process. - Nathan Howell
There's a video on this page that might help with understanding OpenID: http://openidexplained.com/use It's a couple of years old, but stlll good. The first few minutes show the process of using an OpenId in different situations. - Nathan Howell
@JohnDReasor: You know that they can track you based on your email address too, right? So, what's your point? - Chris Messina
OpenID provides a protocol between app providers and authenticators so that users have freedom in picking an authenticator. This means users can pick one based on their need for security. This would avoid scenarios like the recent Twitter debacle. BHO would have picked a secure provider. - Aswath
So if Twitter was an OpenID provider, that would've prevented this phising debacle? - Mona Nomura from IM
No, it would not. It just means it's a insecure password hosted elsewhere. - Jauder Ho
Nathan, good video! I've been accepting OpenID on billso.com, and it's working well so far. Still waiting to see what Facebook and Google each have planned for federated IDs. - Bill Sodeman
I was asking Aswath, Jauder :) - Mona Nomura from IM
Mona, :P . In any case, having a weak password still means that it can still be easily attacked, regardless of where it is hosted. That is until we get rid of the username/password pattern which I do not see happening anytime soon. The "promise" of OpenID being able to transfer profile information has only been used on a very limited basis, partly due to the problem of data mapping (does name on A mean fullname on B?). Mostly, I have just seen OpenID used just for auth with the prior problems mentioned. - Jauder Ho
I find FriendFeed harder to explain than OpenID - Bwana ☠
OpenID allows users to select their own provider.So we do not have to go with Twitter's OID. One can go with another provider that uses a different auth scheme. For example Vidoop does not use the traditional password scheme. - Aswath
I really like OpenID. Especially in combination with the Firefox addon "Verisign's OpenID SeatBelt". - Peter

Apparently the author doesn't understand Twitter or the value it provides. Not surprising. I often get a similar negative response from others when describing Twitter. It seems some people can't get past the initial question "What are you doing?". I often wonder what change there would be in adoption and use of Twitter if they changed that question to "What are you thinking?" After all what your thinking about is driven by what you're reading, viewing, sharing, contemplating, etc. All r discussion starters - Jim Goldstein
Whatever you say, newsweek, whatever you say. You're just 'effin jealous because Twitter has effectively captured the Attention Economy and you've been left out in the subzero cold without a ride. - J. D. Ebberly
It is what it is. Except when it isn't. Innovation isn't what Newsweek decides it is - it's what PEOPLE believe it is. - Dan Keldsen from twhirl
If it's so dumb, why do they feature Twitter messages on their homepage? It's called Newstweet: http://www.newsweek.com/id... - Mack D. Male
poor twitter, nobody gets it! LOL I love twitter! - Susan Beebe
While I'm certainly not convinced of Twitter's value, there's no question that is has been a significant application and to write it off like this just proves what "new-media" types say about "old- media". - Kenton

Really interesting article. Must read for Twitter fans http://venturebeat.com/2008...
but lot of indian friends on twitter disagree...they think twitter has different value - Arjun
Twitter has much more value as of now; though in Potential, SMS Gupshup could be big. - Parth Awasthi from twhirl
But does it have track? - Raphael, Raphael
Parth: My friends on twitter r vehemently disagreeing :). And their logic is based on value for money - Arjun
@Arjun disagreeing with? In Value for Money terms; SMS-es cost, so Twitter wins even in the long run, is this what you imply? - Parth Awasthi from twhirl
I agree with the notion that microblogging is a must-have in developing economies. Maybe it could even become some kind of gateway between developing and developed economies? A cosmopolitan forum? - Benedikt Koehler
@benedikt, dude u r missing the point.It not a question of have and have not...India a "developing" country, took to twitter much more easily than a lot of "developed" countries...the post talks about economics...how since cell penetration being very high in India & China(just 2nd of US!!!), a sms-based service makes more sense than pc based.So i think u got the point wrong.... - Arjun
@Arjun I don't think that it is purely an economic question. having a huge mobile penetration is necessary but not succifient. and in the end of the article amand hints at a emancipatory cultural value of microblogging which I find very interesting. for me microblogging, esp. when sms based, could in future be an important remedy to the digital divide between pc- and mobile-based digital cultures. - Benedikt Koehler
Arjun: An SMS pack with most providers is 30Rs (~75 cents for ref). The demographics that has access to internet invests between 20-30$ a month for internet. The Demographic that uses SMS frequently to communicate is predominantly urban and in the age group 15 - 25. I don't see why a localised competitor that manages SMS services well won't have an advantage to Twitter, which has an SMS... more... - Parth Awasthi from twhirl
Correction 1: SMS packs do not apply for shortcodes. They are at a premium rate, usually INR 3/msg. - Abhishek Baxi
SMS Gupshup does not have an API, does not have to store messages... it merely acts as a gateway. So comparing its reliability with Twitter's falling isn't right. - Abhishek Baxi

Ponzi threatens to tweet things all the time... and never does. :) - l0ckergn0me
Yes, it's true I "threaten" then... like you Lynne, I end up just "living" and not documenting, there's plenty of that already going on in my house. lol - PonziPirillo
Wasn't tweeted? Didn't happen. - David Newman
Yup - this sort of goes towards the mindset where if something that happens isn't shared with and perhaps in some sense 'validated' by other people, it doesn't 'matter', hmmm... More real life please! ;-) - Josh Gregory
I get the same feeling sometimes with my N95 and watching my son grow up. Maybe there's a fewseconds of his life that could just be left between us and not documented for posterity. You fundamentally change a situation you're in when you choose to document it, rather than live it, as you say. - Sam from twhirl

it was pretty cool. Thanks! - Eugene Huo
Wow, 10,000 viewers on TWiT Live - awesome! Congratulations Leo!! - Susan Beebe
they "broke" 10,000 viewers! Now this is a horrible crime!! ...and everyone is congratulating 'em :) - directeur

couldn't get a constant audio feed. Went over to Ustream midway. - Drew Lucas
Hey Leo, just wondering if you were satisfied with Stickam's performance/reliability. I was watching and it crashed a little over half-way through the keynote with about 6250 viewers in the chat. - Mike Doeff
