Chris Messina at Social Graph Foo Camp, February 2008
summary
A project called dieso builds a distributed social network on WordPress that uses OpenID 2.0 and OAuth 1.0 to give individuals control of identity, friends lists and activity feeds instead of central silos. Core claim: sites stop forcing account recreation and instead accept user-managed identities and publish user actions back to a personal data source. Implementation is small team proof-of-concept aimed for SXSW demo; outcome depends on WordPress plugins and adoption by small sites rather than on advertising scale.
