&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;"&lt;/FONT&gt;At the end of the month the Dash will get a RESTful API. At the user's initiative lat/long coordinates can be sent to a server. The Dash will consume a &lt;/EM&gt;&lt;A href="http://georss.org/" mce_href="http://GeoRSS.org"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;GeoRSS&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;EM&gt; feed. This is just the first release.

&lt;P&gt;So what will we do with all these APIs?

Over the years I've been experimenting with different ways of sharing these with you. My most recent solution has been to include &lt;A href="http://del.icio.us/alexbarn" mce_href="http://del.icio.us/alexbarn"&gt;my del.icio.us links&lt;/A&gt; within &lt;A href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/alex_barnett_blog" mce_href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/alex_barnett_blog"&gt;my feed&lt;/A&gt; as seperate items. The problem with this approach is I haven't had a permalinked way of publishing these to my blog with a way to easily edit prior to publishing...also, having the daily summaries del.icio.us format in a feed is lame.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;So I going to try something new. Instead of having the daily del.icio.us link summaries published as RSS items within my Feedburner feed, I'm going to publish these as blog posts. It should make things more economical from the consumption point of view (I don't think the "Links for 2008-01-20 [del.icio.us]" blah blah feed item titles are pretty). To do this, I have:&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;LI&gt;disabled the del.icio.us feed syndication from Feedburner (the &lt;A title="Feedburner's Link Splicer" href="http://blogs.feedburner.com/feedburner/archives/2004/08/introducing_the_link_splicer.php" mce_href="http://blogs.feedburner.com/feedburner/archives/2004/08/introducing_the_link_splicer.php"&gt;Link Splicer&lt;/A&gt;) &lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;have installed Josh Leggard's &lt;A title="Insert Feed Content plugin by Josh Leggard" href="http://ledgards.com/blogs/josh/archive/2007/11/03/alpha-release-windows-live-writer-feed-insert-plugin.aspx" mce_href="http://ledgards.com/blogs/josh/archive/2007/11/03/alpha-release-windows-live-writer-feed-insert-plugin.aspx"&gt;Insert Feed Content plugin&lt;/A&gt; for &lt;A href="http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/" mce_href="http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/"&gt;Windows Live Writer&lt;/A&gt; - this lets me populate a draft blog post with the latest items from any feed (my del.icio.us feed in this case - I'll still use the service for bookmarking) that I can then include / edit / add more commentary before I post to &lt;A href="http://alexbarnett.net/blog" mce_href="http://alexbarnett.net/blog"&gt;my blog&lt;/A&gt; - along with a custom post title. &lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Better me thinks. I like &lt;A href="http://devhawk.net/" mce_href="http://devhawk.net/"&gt;Harry Pierson's&lt;/A&gt; and &lt;A title="Assaf's Labnotes" href="http://blog.labnotes.org/" mce_href="http://blog.labnotes.org/"&gt;Assaf's Labnotes&lt;/A&gt; style of providing links with commentary...over time I hope to emulate these.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;So here goes - this first effort will be larger than future posts like this...shorter in the future.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;What is OAuth? From &lt;A class="" href="http://oauth.net/documentation/getting-started" mce_href="http://oauth.net/documentation/getting-started"&gt;OAuth Getting Started - Part 1&lt;/A&gt;, here's the jist of it:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;"OAuth allows you to share your private resources (photos, videos, contact list, bank accounts) stored on one site with another site without having to hand out your username and password.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;...Users don’t care about protocols and standards – they care about better experience with enhanced privacy and security. This is exactly what OAuth sets to achieve. With web services on the rise, people expect their services to work together in order to accomplish something new. Instead of using a single site for all their online needs, users use one site for their photos, another for videos, another for email, and so on. No one site can do everything better. In order to enable this kind of integration, sites need to access the user resources from other sites, and those are many times protected (private family photos, work documents, bank records)."&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;Adam Kalsey,&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="" href="http://kalsey.com/2007/10/oauth/" mce_href="http://kalsey.com/2007/10/oauth/"&gt;summarizes it well&lt;/A&gt;:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;"OAuth aims to standardize the way in which different consumer systems share data. The goal is to allow a person to give an application access to do some things on your accounts at other sites, but not everything. It’s role-based authorization for APIs."&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;OAuth is a big idea, but is it a "solution looking for a problem to solve"? I don't think so. The problem for end users today is real, i.e.&amp;nbsp;authorizing one service to access your data by another service for use by the first service, securely and with control. For developers wanting to develop apps and services that create value through the use of customer data stored on other services, there is no standardized means set of protocols to lean on. Instead, developers need to waste time learning&amp;nbsp;a new way for their app to be authorized to do so for each&amp;nbsp;service provider, having to&amp;nbsp;jump through the various specific&amp;nbsp;means and idiosyncrasies of each service.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;The current way is broken -&amp;nbsp;too many&amp;nbsp;means to the same end, for end-users, for developers leveraging service APIs and for the service providers themselves wanting to extend their services through web APIs.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;OAuth is getting &lt;A class="" href="http://blog.programmableweb.com/2007/10/05/oauth-spec-10-more-personal-mashups/" mce_href="http://blog.programmableweb.com/2007/10/05/oauth-spec-10-more-personal-mashups/"&gt;the attention&lt;/A&gt; &lt;A class="" href="http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/09/oauth_open_auth.html" mce_href="http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/09/oauth_open_auth.html"&gt;from&lt;/A&gt; &lt;A class="" href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/oauth_one.php" mce_href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/oauth_one.php"&gt;a number&lt;/A&gt; &lt;A class="" href="http://www.25hoursaday.com/weblog/2007/10/06/OAuth10IsHereDelegatedAuthorityComesToMashups.aspx" mce_href="http://www.25hoursaday.com/weblog/2007/10/06/OAuth10IsHereDelegatedAuthorityComesToMashups.aspx"&gt;of people&lt;/A&gt; and services such as &lt;A class="" href="http://www.sixapart.com/about/news/2007/10/oauth_share_you.html" mce_href="http://www.sixapart.com/about/news/2007/10/oauth_share_you.html"&gt;Six Apart&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;and &lt;A class="" href="http://oauth.net/about/" mce_href="http://oauth.net/about/"&gt;others&lt;/A&gt; (&lt;EM&gt;"Digg, Jaiku, Flickr, Ma.gnolia, Plaxo, Pownce, Twitter, and hopefully Google, Yahoo, and others soon to follow"&lt;/EM&gt;)&amp;nbsp;have committed&amp;nbsp;to run with it. This is good news, but we need to get the word out there and help make developers' lives easier.&amp;nbsp;So, go listen to&amp;nbsp;&lt;A class="" href="http://bungeeconnect.wordpress.com/2007/11/02/oauth-with-larry-halff-eran-hammer-lahav-and-chris-messina/" mce_href="http://bungeeconnect.wordpress.com/2007/11/02/oauth-with-larry-halff-eran-hammer-lahav-and-chris-messina/"&gt;first OAuth podcast&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;and evangelize &lt;A class="" href="http://oauth.net/" mce_href="http://oauth.net"&gt;OAuth&lt;/A&gt;!&lt;/P&gt;

We ask Alan about eBay’s position &lt;/i&gt;&lt;a href="http://oauth.net/" mce_href="http://oauth.net/"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Oauth&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt; and on open source."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p mce_keep="true"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"OAuth is a big idea, but is it a "solution looking for a problem to solve"? I don't think so. The problem for end users today is real, i.e.&amp;nbsp;authorizing one service to access your data by another service for use by the first service, securely and with control. For developers wanting to develop apps and services that create value through the use of customer data stored on other services, there is no standardized means set of protocols to lean on. Instead, developers need to waste time learning&amp;nbsp;a new way for their app to be authorized to do so for each&amp;nbsp;service provider, having to&amp;nbsp;jump through the various specific&amp;nbsp;means and idiosyncrasies of each service."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Last year Dave Winer started to push the idea of &lt;a href="http://www.reallysimplesyndication.com/2005/10/13" mce_href="http://www.reallysimplesyndication.com/2005/10/13"&gt;Reading Lists for RSS&lt;/a&gt;. More recently, the idea of&amp;nbsp;Dynamic Reading Lists and&amp;nbsp;Feed Grazing (or Grazing Lists / Glists) has been kicking around.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Its&amp;nbsp;likely that Reading Lists support will become a common feature of Feed Readers / Aggregators."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;"A couple of weeks ago Joshua and I had a conversation about attention data (as podcasts).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In that conversation we kept touching on the topic of online identities and their management, so we thought we'd invite two pioneers of the identity space, Dick Hardt and Kim Cameron, to a podcast session and discuss how they saw the connections between these two related topics: attention and identity."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
