now that both MD5 and SHA-1 are heading towards obsolescence, Debian are readying the long-term actions needed to take care of this. we'll need to do this in the ASF too. Is this like Y2K and C10K? SHA1K?

It's the next big thang...who's on MyNameisE.com? To explain how it works - you meet offline, exchange your username and it automatically "makes friends" (connects u both) on all the various services that you have set up on there (eg. twitter, facebook etc..). Share your profile URL's here:

You know, I thought this was what Plaxo was for. Guess i'll give it a try.
- Don Faulkner
Looks promising. It's very early though. I'll give it a few weeks and see what happens.
- Don Faulkner
yeah absolutely Don, probably more like a year really - but i've got a good feeling about this one
- Zee.
Well, I was checking it out and I broke the site. My fault, sorry :p
- Neal Jansons
Can't add FriendFeed. Lost me there.
- Brad Williamson
yeah, i complained about that too but its on its way. When it comes, you'll automatically connect to established contacts who have friendfeed accounts too

- Jim Hearts FF
Really? That's pretty neat.
- Neal Jansons
from IM
yep, that's the idea - sorry should have said.
- Zee.
It would be neat if after that it connected to location services like BK and let you know when you were in the same region, like a "nearby contacts" page.
- Neal Jansons
from IM
Yeah, I'd looked at this way back when, but didn't see much point if not many were using it. The service has matured somewhat since then, though. Is it increasing in popularity, too? Anyway, I'm here: http://www.mynameise.com/simplyg...

Interesting. Just created a profile,http://www.mynameise.com/jcunwir...
- jcunwired
Does need to add FF as a service, too, though. And the ability to add more than one Twitter account (for other services, too).
- Grey Drane
No time to play with it yet, but maybe you can do this by creating cards with different profiles?
- jcunwired
Zee. Yes, you're timeline of a year is probably a better guess. I'm still asleep, it's 10:30a where I am. :)
- Don Faulkner
Didn't realize the idea was to automagically connect everyone. That's cool, but also a little scary. I'm not sure I want to auto-follow (e.g. twitter) everyone I meet at at a conference.
- Don Faulkner
Ok, I'm signing up now. But two things. First, the site only works with www. Second, i wish people would discover Twitter's OAuth support. Just sayin'.
- Vlad Bobleanta
ah, then you just choose a different card Don. So you create multiple cards and just select the one you want to hand out at conferences

there is also something called start.io that does something like this. mine for example, is just links to the stuff i have on the web. the links can be public or private or mixed. the thing that i like the most about it is that you can customize it with your own css. mine for example http://start.io/alfredo
- Alfredo
www.mynameise.com/divydovy but not convinced this is any different/better than FF. Why does nothing connect to Posterous? :(
- David Lockie
yeah, hopefully they'll integrate posterous before long too. And i guess the main difference with Friendfeed is that you don't automatically connect with the persons various profiles, if you see what i mean

http://www.mynameise.com/naor - played with it short while ago.. not sure yet

I frankly don't get it, but here's mine: http://www.mynameise.com/jungleg
- Jorge Escobar
Ok. http://www.mynameise.com/vlad .Nothing to see there yet. But hey, I have the username, right? I think I'll wait for it to mature at least a bit. Also, add me to the "not sure I want it to automagically connect me to everyone on every network" list. Will have to think about this more, but for now, manually managing all socnets/presences and people who I'm connected to still makes the most sense, sadly.

LOL! I would just give a simple personal friendfeed URL now. My friend will get everything of mine there! All linked :)
- Mohammad Abdurraafay
Mohammed, but that's a pain in the ass. How awesome to know that once you've exchanged one, you're automatically connected on all! :)
- Zee.
I like it. Hope they add more services... http://www.mynameise.com/Jess
- Jess
Seems fine, but seems weird having to enter passwords for other sites and even my Facebook profile URL. That's a little crufty, no? Don Faulkner is right--only not only does Plaxo serve similar functions, but so does chi.mp, unhub and others. Guess it's the Poken functionality that is unique. Wait--now it says I don't have any services on my card. Now I've got to enter contact info which is suddenly missing. I enter it again and get fail whale. Hm. huh. http://www.mynameise.com/thepete
- thepete
don't put username + passwords from sites you use into a third party service.. this kind of setup is known as the Password Anti-Pattern, and developers should be extremely discouraged from doing stuff like this..
- Jon
+1 Jon good point.
- Neal Jansons
Jon, I agree. I am avoiding sites that do this. But how can this service (or others) autofollow someone on my Twitter without login credentials? Doesn't the API require that? I believe that is the whole point of the service: to efficiently add a new friend to all my social services automatically, and not having to add one by one at a later date manually. At conferences/networking events, this service has huge potential.
- Brian
Brian - passwords certainly makes it easier, but its still a bad pattern. oAuth, or Facebook Connect, or similar (FriendFeed uses an API key for API authentication) should be able to accomplish the same thing.
- chrisofspades
This service is a bit of a PITA. For the folks that I have added, their twitter updates arrive to me via SMS regardless of having device updates off in twitter. There doesn't seem to be a way of configuring this in mynameis either. Fail.
- jcunwired
A v-card sharing system?
- TrafficBug
@trafficbug yep, kind of but it automatically connects you rather than you wasting your time visiting each social network and following the person

Blackberry Curve outselling iPhone - http://www.nydailynews.com/tech_gu...
Daniel Rowley, Kenny Elliott, Michael Hansel and 9 other people liked this
Part of the reason? Availability. While Apple's iPhone is an AT&T exclusive, the Curve works with all four major U.S. carriers. Though NPD does not reveal its exact sales figures to the public, the firm ranked Research in Motion's Blackberry Curve the No.
- Leo Laporte
It's also the fact that they had a BUY ONE GET ONE FREE program with Verizon. Why? To offset the abysmal sales of the Storm touch-screen Blackberry...
- Gadget Guy Dave Mathews
What is everyone's take on the G1. It has moved into 4th place. Do you think android/google will be a major player soon?
- Robb McMahan
Well, the reason I have mine is that my wife was already locked into Verizon, she needed a new phone, and they had a buy one, get one free deal. I refuse to pay early termination charges, and am not spending $200 every 2 years for an upgraded phone. We'll see were the iphone is when my contract is over, and what kind of deals there are.
- Matt Thompson
from fftogo
Much as I hate how smug Apple has become due to the iPhone's success, I have to point out that this victory for RIM may be due to the new iPhone rumors. Who would buy an iPhone now?
- Eric Geller
the agilityt of the messaging platform and the broad adoption across multiple carriers is paying off for RIM. Good job!
- Jason Holbrook
from twhirl
"While Apple's iPhone is an AT&T exclusive, the Curve works with all four major U.S. carriers." Only problem? Apple doesn't care. They knew this, but wanted the exclusive deal with AT&T anyway because...well, they're Apple, aren't they? It's the only reason I've not gotten an iPhone, and I'm sure there are others just like me.
- Fleagle
No iPhone fanboy me, but do any of you really believe that Apple's exclusive deal with the AT&T is solely of Apple's own doing, or that they had much of a choice? It's not as if they owned the airwaves, or the costly infrastructure. For better or worse they went after a particular high-end segment of the cell market and forced a major carrier to bend to their new profit-sharing rules....

No surprise. Although my wife and I would really like an iPhone, AT&T is holding me back. Verizon is my drug of choice.
- Paul Puri
OK, opening up a file on you and your wife's carrier preferences, so I'll always be up to date in these so-important matters.
- ianf ⌘
The main reason for apple's exclusive deal with AT&T? It was the only way to muscle a major carrier to do visual voicemail and unlimited data for a reasonable cost.
- Stephen M. Otto
As an iPod Touch user, I love the iPhone interface, but I still want a Blackberry Storm so I don't have to dump Verizon.
- Thunderwing
from Nambu
I am sorry @LeoLaporte, I knew this would happen. But it may not be for long though. Apple has just this charm about it, that if they did add a hardware keyboard, and had a dedicated set of servers for EMAIL and PIN of a sort like RIMM, we could easily see a seachange. Very easily.
- RALPH
Leo, Leo, Leo, just wait until the second half of 2009 with a whole new slew of devices being released to jump into the smartphone pool. While you're in China, why doncha bring back one of the new Dell smartphones? Is it true that TWiT is buying Twitter? Seems only right.
