UMA 1.0 Core Protocol - WG - User Managed Access - Kantara Initiative - 7 views

    • Christian Scholz
       
      explain URLs more what they mean. Isn't there some access token URL for Host and the Requester? And an authorization URL?
    • Christian Scholz
       
      In case this is OAuth 2.0 there needs to be a client id with which the client can be identified by the AM and in the end to the user. In OAuth this needs to be registered before. How to do this dynamically?
    • Christian Scholz
       
      I think REST is not always working as not everything IMHO fits the REST model. At least not the 4 verbs. POST might mean many things.

      How do you define if e.g. the AM should directly ask the user? Is this defined in the AM-Host-intro step? It should then maybe say so. Then: How does the AM actually know how to name the Host? You need to ask the user "Requester XXXX wants to get access to YYYY, do you agree?". XXXX and YYYY need to be known and maybe more information about it like some info URL etc.
    • Christian Scholz
       
      Even if OAuth defines the flows maybe an example flow should be written out in terms of HTTP requests and responses. Esp. for how claims are supposed to work, how the AM finally informs the requester that all claims are fulfilled etc.

      Some more information on what is posted is needed here.

Live Blogging the OpenID Design Summit « The Real McCrea - 7 views

  • What is the relationship between the RP and the OP. Problem: we want to message “Hey, these two sites are going to be tied togethr somehow.”
  • keep the first screen really simple; delay deeper stuff (like extended permissions) to later flows, in context
  • “When ‘open’ was in the term, people had security concerns,” says Max
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • When we gave hint URLs, people tried putting those in, instead of their own
  • Brian is showing what people have been typing into OpenID sign-in boxes
  • Brand selectors are good at letting users express preference, but at the time of choice, user has no idea which OpenID experience will be better
  • Of those that return, 8% choose “no” to the Google account signup option/consent. 92% say yes and automated address book import. Joseph says, they get higher conversion rates, higher import rates, more connections per user, and no drop-off in return visits.
  • Has Google experimented with granular permissions, vs. having all the items consented to at once
  • People cursed at us when we did it one by one. They want it in a single step.” Wow. Important insight
  • hybrid OpenID/OAuth plus Google Contacts
  • Once you add a button to your interface, you can never remove it.
  • Agreement on popup as the way two go
  •  
    A great summary of what happened at the Facebook OpenID UX Summit complete with presentations.

BIS 2009 - CFP: 3rd Workshop on Social Aspects of the Web (SAW 2009) - 0 views

  • The change also raises a strong need for theoretical, empirical and applied studies related to how people may interact on the Web, how they actually do so, and what new possibilities and challenges are emerging in the social, business and technology dimensions.

Yahoo! Query Language - YDN - 1 views

  • The YQL platform provides a single endpoint service that enables developers to query, filter and combine data across Yahoo! and beyond. YQL exposes a SQL-like SELECT syntax that that is both familiar to developers and expressive enough for getting the right data

A European Perspective on "FB Connect vs. OpenID" - 2 views

  • For website owners it only makes sense to support any kind of ” [Facebook/ Google/ Open] Connect” solution, if the majority of their user-base also maintains their social graph at one of those “Social Graph/Identity” providers. Speaking for Germany: that is neither for Facebooks Connect nor Googles Friend Connect (also with the Plaxo combo) the case yet!
  • We build a solution upon the OpenStack, because than it will work with much more websites, who support the OpenStack as well as a consumer
  • If you look at the rest of the world - outside of “Facebook-Land” - you also realize and understand much better, why it is so important to find an holistic solution approach - build on open standards - to solve the issue FB Connect addresses: we live in a very diversified world and if everybody comes up with a proprietary solution, it will be just a big mess in the end.

MySpace ID vs Facebook Connect: A Battle for Demographics - 0 views

  • it’s not so much that MySpace is losing users in droves as it is that Facebook might be gaining completely new ones
  • much of the split is along the demographic lines you’d expect: Facebook partners include brands targeting more tech savvy and affluent demographics: CBS, CNET, Digg, and Hulu, to name a few, while MySpace touts more mainstream partners such as AOL, Yahoo, and eBay.

Technology Review: Are Social Networks Sinking? - 1 views

  • However, the overall value of these companies is still largely based on growth potential, which now seems shaky. Microsoft's investment in Facebook valued the company at a massive $15 billion. But in November, Twitter refused to be bought by Facebook for a reported $500 million of its stocks plus some cash.
  • Chris Alden, chairman and CEO of Six Apart, says that there simply isn't enough capital in the current market to sustain so many social-networking companies. "You'll see more consolidation in the next year or two," he predicts.
  • In October, the third most popular social-networking site, Hi5, announced that it would cut between 10 and 15 percent of its staff. And in November, the business-focused networking sites LinkedIn and Jive said that they would slash their workforces by 10 and 40 percent, respectively.

As Facebook Connect Expands, OpenID's Challenges Grow | Epicenter from Wired.com - 0 views

  • The news is sure to be welcomed by Facebook's 120 million users and its potential partners, but it presents a new challenge to proponents of the so-called "open stack" for ID management -- OpenID, OAuth and the related technologies that allow users to share data across multiple websites.
  • It's also good for everyone's business. By being able to use a Facebook ID to log in to Digg, the user's barrier of entry is lowered significantly and Digg gets more traffic
  • But where Facebook Connect is heading towards mass adoption on mainstream sites like Digg, OpenID is currently bogged down by several issues, the largest of which is poor usability.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Facebook Connect was developed independently using proprietary code, so Facebook's system and OpenID are not interoperable
  • Data gathered by Facebook Connect on a third-party site can only go one place once it leaves -- straight back into Facebook
  • clear threat
  • If things continue rolling down this road much longer, OpenID won't be able to catch up
