Gnomedex 8.0 - Tara Hunt and Larry Halff - ma.gnolia

Ma.gnolia is a community bookmarking service.

Larry is talking. He defines, Open, and Transparent, elements of the Open Web. Two examples: syndication and microformats. Open standards: OpenID, OAuth, but seriously, will we be able to use these? Is the internet too corrupted for this kind of trust?

What's this about password antipattern?

OAuth - an open protocol to grant API access to programs so you don't have to code in usernames and passwords.

Tara is now talking on Community. she likes the way ma.gnolia is open with thier community, and is always talking with their community. they use Twitter to communicate with their community.

What current problems are they having on the Open Web. Larry mentions single point of failure. another problem is community coherence. Damn Spammers!

so they encourage decentralized sites that use federation.

Open Source
so they announce Ma.gnolia 2.0. Open source and federated.

currently in design phase, code releases start in September.
