ok, email that you want, just not right now.
tasty morsels, but you end up sending it to spam or ïŹltering it out.
thereâs got to be a better way to get your daily nutritional needs met.

the social network game is a farse. all we know how to do is accrue friends.
whereâs the value in that? not to mention the invite problem.

identity consolidation. weâre fragmented.
our identities are smeared across the web and yet every social network seems to increasingly
need to know all of our dierent accounts!
6. WTF is that?
Icon by Icon Icon
The grand daddy of them all... RSS is simply not enough. The result: your service looks like
crap. And you feel like crap. Itâs the common cold of the social web.
If RSS is the best thing weâve got to ïŹght this, weâre doomed.

Weâre working on the open building blocks of the social web. openid. oauth. poco.
more acronyms than the government. well, almost. today letâs look at activity streams.
the importance of openness.

10. Performative Identity
basically we move from a world of declarative identity, which decays, to one where youâre
renewing yourself based on what you DO.
11. Administering
so letâs take a look. if you were to actually implement this today, youâd simply tweak your
ATOM feeds and advertise them on your userâs proïŹle pages... which hopefully supports
openid.
12. Sign in to follow Dave!
Letâs say I met Dave ata conference. I visit davidrecordon.com, his website.
Take a look around...
I decide I want to follow his activities
13. I sign in to Daveâs site with my OpenID
Before Iâm sent back from my provider, Iâm asked whether I want to follow Dave

Access requires permission from Dave
Inspired by Jyri Engeström
I say yes, and am asked which activity types Iâm interested in...
15. Daveâs contact details, photos and location are protected.
Would you like to request access to these items?
Please note that Dave may deny your request.
No thanks OK
Should any of the selected types be protected,
I will be asked whether I want to request access
16. ? â
If I say OK, an OAuth request will be sent which Dave will later be able to approve, deny or
ignore
...And Daveâs public activities will show up in my activities dashboard.
...And if Dave later approves my request, his protected activities will show up too
17. Social Inbox
my request went to daveâs social inbox where he can learn more about me (from my
activities) and check out whatever else is going on.
facebook is basically a giant social inbox. but i want this to work on the open web.
18. What if you could identify these objects without the hassle?
friendfeed has to manually support these.
19. consider where facebook is going with the facebook stream.
see how they bucket all these dierent things?
this is social discovery and ïŹltering through your social graph.
consolidating your identity!
