The analogy was meant to be more drawn to the frontier colonization of space as written in numerous sci-fi novels, but point taken. Luckily, I'm not entirely sure who the indigenous citizens of the internet would be to be damaged by rapid t

It works because they can't put the genie back in the bottle. They've now committed to supporting this open protocol and for them to try to take it away would mean breaking thousands of websites. Therefore others are free to build on top of

But with the Open Graph protocol you do get the ability to tie disparate pieces of data together. For instance, let's say that I examine someone's tweet stream for links. If I fetch the OG data for each of those I can tell you whether they

The great thing here is that the browser vendors don't even have to do it. It could be handled entirely by browser extension developers for now, and once it catches on enough to make some waves, the browser vendors will want to pick it up a

Changes to the iPhone SDK happen around yearly at best. Even vendors such as Adobe can manage a yearly release cycle. Beyond that, why does this need to be in the ToS of the SDK at all? If they only want applications that do a good job of s

This Rails template uses Twitter OAuth, meaning you don't give away your username and password for Twitter. If an application "goes rogue" and starts posting unsolicited tweets or doing other nefarious practices, you can simply revoke acces

Twitter-specific. OAuth is a great standard but doesn't really provide standardized methods of extracting user information from an OAuth connected API. With Twitter you can call verify_credentials to get all of the information, so you can a

I think the problem is that OAuth isn't usually touted as a sign-on standard, only an "access API info" standard. With a couple tiny tweaks OAuth could be a standard that allows for this kind of "Connect" protocol for any web application. S

The problem is that real-time search is a fundamentally different proposition from archival search. In real-time search what happened in the last 5 minutes can be more important than everything that has happened before. Google could certain
