oct. 8th, 2007 at 5:38 pm we're all still sitting in tulsa tweaking it, but great new openid website designed by the guys at vidoop. lots of cleanup went into this and a bunch of different people worked to make this happen!http://openid.net/ tags: openid, w00t 7 comments leave a comment add to memoriestell a friendlink united gets two emails oct. 7th, 2007 at 2:56 pm numero uno:hi,just wanted to let you know that the captain and crew on this flight were one of the best domestic crews i've had on a united flight. the crew was extremely attentive and friendly all around (not just one or two great flight attendants like many flights) and the captain took the time to welcome the first class cabin personally.thanks,--davidnumero dos (55 minutes later):unfortunately i've now had one of my worst united experiences...upon arriving in denver i turned my phone on and had an easy update showing that my flight to tulsa (ua 6556) was departing on time from gate b81. this left me with about an hour from when we landed. i walked to gate 81 and figured i was still early when there was no gate agent there (which is reasonable for an hour before departure for a skywest flight). awhile later i decided to check the status and it turned out the flight had moved to gate b56. at that point there was about 15 minutes until departure. when i got the the gate the door was closed (the agent was down at the plane) though the plane was still open with the jet bridge attached.a customer service counter was next to the gate and i explained how i trusted the easy update (i guess a mistake) and had been waiting at 81. despite the plane still being there with the door open, they refused to let me board the flight. as far as i could tell from their comments this was due to having to re-do paperwork versus not having a seat (i was booked in 1a).the best they were willing to do (after pulling the flight up on the computer and noticing the gate had been changed four times today) was book me confirmed on a flight four and a half hours later and standby on the next flight two hours later. when asking if i could get my regional upgrade certificate back, they told me i had to call mileage plus. when asking if there was anything else they could do, all they said was "no". this is not the sort of customer service i expect as a 1k and is the same sort of scenario which made me stop flying alaska air.this is incredibly frustrating to me: - why was an updated "easy update" not sent letting me know about the gate change? - why was the customer service agent unable to do anything but book me over four hours later? - why did the customer service agent tell me to call mileage plus; this is completely the opposite of how if i called the 1k mileage plus number the agent would have made sure my issues were resolved instead of just transferring me to someone else? - why didn't the rcc agent, who asked me how i was doing, ask for any specifics to find out if she could have helped me after i answered that i was frustrated since one flight today was great, but the second is now horrible? - why do rcc agents randomly ask for my photo id when not asking others, is it impossible to believe that that a 21-year old white guy with a fro is a 1k with a rcc membership? - why can't united have a consistent experience between airports and staff?i realize i should have just looked at the monitor, but easy update messages are supposed to be correct.--david tags: lame++, travel 5 comments leave a comment add to memoriestell a friendlink bloglines gets openid oct. 2nd, 2007 at 10:00 pm techcrunch beat me to the post, but bloglines as of this morning now has support for openid. also cool to see oauth starting to take hold!

sep. 24th, 2007 at 4:44 pm i'm at digital id world today in san francisco and was told i had to attend a session titled "advanced identity management in telco environment: challenges of multi-play identity convergence". orange (the mobile provider) started talking about expiriments they've been doing around service usage registration.they just announced that all france telecom subscribers (~40-million -- the country is about 65-million people) now have an openid. aol announced a similar project, making every aol account an openid this past february.this makes ft the first major telco to support openid! they're also talking about allowing access to orange branded services with external accounts (hopefully openids). they just showed a draft screenshot of openid logins along with google and yahoo auth. go to http://openid.orange.fr to learn more.awesome news and i hope to see others follow. i've always said telcos are in a great place to be identity providers. tags: openid, w00t 6 comments leave a comment add to memoriestell a friendlink monkey-proof naming sep. 21st, 2007 at 10:39 pm so it seems that dave winer thinks that my friend (though some may argue otherwise) brad and the rest of us shouldn't be using the term "social graph". "social graph" is a horrible term when dealing with non-geeks and even for geeks it elicits arguments about what type of graph it actually is.so yes dave, we are all talking about "social networks"! that said, i do think there is value in respecting zuckerburg's prior uses of the phrase. so what about a compromise, "graph" for geeks and "network" for everyone else?

sep. 18th, 2007 at 10:38 am reading techcrunch (yes, i confess i sort-of read valleywag too), i first came across an article which discusses facebook's new "venture fund" (i use quotes since they give grants) in conjunction with acel and founders fund. it sounds like they have $10m worth of funding to give to startups developing facebook applications in grants ranging from $25k to $250k. $250k certainly is not bad for an angel round, though the grant includes first right of refusal for any future funding rounds for your startup. it makes a lot of sense in terms helping to guarantee money for developer's of facebook applications given the unpredictable vc market for 2008. this is interesting as it is also right on the heels of the discovery that facebook plans to offer data storage to applications as well; most likely in a play to compete with amazon s3. at foocamp this year, i led a session along with a few others asking the question if facebook is becoming the new aol of the '90s. basically looking at how many of their actions seem to be mimicking the naive behavior that everyone will live within your world on the internet. just as aol tried to keep users off of the actual internet, facebook seems to be trying to create an ecosystem where: users don't have to leave facebook.com to send messages (email), update their status (twitter), share photos (flickr), post notes (blog), plan events (upcoming, evite), etc advertisers don't have to leave facebook.com to purchase targetted banners and text ads search engines will soon be able to index facebook profiles communities can hold conversations and share photos developers can have (purchase?) storage business people can have funding etc while i don't want to be the one to predict doom (though many others have before me), facebook has a few things going against them. one of the major concerns i'd have in my mind if i were them, is what will happen when google, amazon, yahoo!, and microsoft really feel threatened? assuming that one day google does do evil (or even not evil, but something which really gets people up in arms about data storage, privacy, and aggregation) would they not try to point at others in the industry with equivalent (or worse) practices? all of a sudden, just as has happened to rapleaf last week, facebook could be bearing the brunt of people not realizing their favorite bong hit photos are now being indexed by google images, status message "about screwing their boss" indexed by yahoo!, and a crazy toga party automatically syndicated into upcoming. while a google employee told me that "search engine innovations always cause changes to views on privacy", i think it will be hard for facebook to find an excuse if they try to piss off the companies which are going to be getting the brunt of these attacks. the interesting juxtaposition here is in a second techcrunch article which chronicles mark zuckerberg's interview yesterday. mark said, "a social graph is a model for facebook, we’re not trying to make new connections, but mirror the real world. on platform, the idea is providing more utilities for users, part of the bigger social graph." it is interesting that he (quite possibly being misquoted) doesn't view facebook (in this answer) as a tool to make new connections. while it certainly used to mirror the real world, today more and more of my facebook "friends" are those i've only met virtually. where i see facebook really failing at mirroring the real world is giving me tools to have different sorts of relationships within their ecosystem. not everyone i meet in the real world is really a "friend", nor is letting them only see my "limited profile" really mirroring the real world either. i quite honestly preferred facebook when it was just my friends from high-school and college; it was actually a valuably intimate (no, not in the myspace sense) social network. while i've never spoken directly to anyone from facebook (largely since they never show up to community events), i'm somewhat comforted to hear mark's phrasing of, "part of the bigger social graph." i unfortunately have a hard time with it given the number of moves facebook has made to own the ecosystem. it is disappointing hearing stories from developers who see f8 as a very one sided platform; you're allowed to put your data in but not take it out. i'm waiting for the first application which adds all of your facebook friend's email addresses to your gmail contacts, just as facebook is so happy to suck them out via their "invite your friends" feature. so does mark really see facebook as part of the bigger internet, or is this a well rehearsed marketing line given what we all stirred up a few weeks ago?
