Doc has a good bit (on his IT Garage) on Digital Identity - preparing for the upcoming DIDW (Digital Identity World) conference in Denver (where I'm speaking - as well.)

One thing Doc doesn't mention - which I blame myself for - is that FOAF is an important standard that can help promulgate the kind of infrastructure Doc is calling for.

In fact at last year's conference - when Jamie Lewis called for an open standard - I pointed out to him that FOAF was perfect for that.

So here we are a year later and the FOAFnet is about to launch - and it's time for yet another DIDW.

Here's Doc's post on his IT Garage.....

Two things came up simultaneously today.

First, Kaliya Hamlin called, and reminded me that I'm giving the closing keynote at Digital ID World next month, where I'm on at least one panel (here's the schedule). Also that I need to revisit the principles that I've been espousing at the last two DIDWs, which, she reports, are actually getting some traction.

Second, Andre Durand, who got me going on this whole Identity Thing several years ago (shortly thereafter I began serving on the advisory board of his new company, Ping Identity Corp.), put up a fresh post on his blog: Federated Identity & PKI Collide.

So I began thinking that Digital Identity needs to be a DIY-IT project (DIYDID, let's call it) at least to some degree. It needs independent IT professionals and other interested parties pushing the whole thing upward from the grass roots; and not just vendors, and associations of vendors, pushing them from the top down. That was one of Andre's points in the first place, and I think it's still valid today.

Digital Identity needs to be a fundamental internet service. If we don't push for something that's universal, and empowers markets from the customer side — and not just from the vendor side — either it won't happen, or it will be the same kind of mess we sill have with, say, instant messaging (where there are no common NEA IM standards, just incompatible, mostly non-interoperable competing offerings from mostly-uncooperative major vendors).

As Craig Burton says, infrastructure only achieves that status at ubquity. You get that from grass roots movements that vendors as well as customers and users support.

This isn't to knock the Liberty Alliance and other efforts being made on the vendor side. It's to turn some attention to the customer side, where the demand side is starting to supply some "solutions" as well.

Pushing RSS

Pushing RSS 04/28/2004 10:29 AM

While I was hanging out at the hospital waiting for the new addition, I got to wondering if RSS has to be "pull" by definition. Could you "push" updates from a site to a client?

Say you have a notification client — a little app that sits on your desktop. You log into it, and it notifies the site that it's waiting for notifications on port X. This inserts the IP and port number of the client in a table of connected clients on the Web server. When the site is updated, it runs through this table and pushes XML to the IPs and ports in the table.

This came up because the nurses would often sit back at the station and monitor patients from there. Now, I realized you wouldn't do patient monitoring via blog, but say there was some event that happened on a site that was important enough to warrant more than the standard "poll-every-15-minutes" notifications. If you pushed the XML like I explain above, end users would get it in semi real-time.

If you used this in conjunction with NewsGator's ability to format and display arbitrary data, you could really move any information around quite well.

In the end, it's a cross between the "push" of email and the "pull" of RSS, I guess. Quite possibly pointless.

Pushing and Turning

Pushing and Turning 05/19/2004 04:38 AM

For every startup, there comes a time when you stop looking around and start pushing, the long haul.  Your goals are clear so you pour all your resources into filling and expanding the rank and start beating the marching drum.  At the executive level, focus shifts from faces and dreams to numbers and dollars.  It's a time of metamorphosis that turns a group of people into an engine of profit.

If all the pushing goes well, swell.  If not, there is no point in keep pushing in the same direction.  But all to often, startups I worked with over the years continued to pump away until the money ran out.  The smart thing to do would have been to 'turn' your product line toward a direction that will give more easily just as a wrestler might.  Some VCs see 'turning' as compromising of the original business plan, a great poopoo.  Hogwash.

If the landscape changes, the map must change as well.

AT&T Looks To Cable For Help Pushing
VoIP

AT&T Looks To Cable For Help Pushing
VoIP 08/19/2004 12:49 PM
AT&T has been a bit confused lately about what they really want to do. They bought a mobile phone company... and then spun it off. They bought a cable company... and then sold it off. They offered residential long distance... and then they stopped. It seems that there's no long-term planning going on there these days. Lately, they've been focused on their new VoIP offering (who would have thought that AT&T's big play is to be another Vonage?), and to help push it, they're going to partner with the cable broadband providers as a channel. That is, any time someone comes to AT&T without broadband and wants VoIP phone service, AT&T will point them to one of their cable partners. Of course, those cable partners are all working on their own VoIP offering, so what's the benefit in getting service from AT&T? In fact, with cable companies beginning to realize that they should just give away VoIP to reduce churn and better compete with the telcos, there's no reason to go with AT&T at all. Oh well. Given AT&T's recent history, maybe they're just looking to sell off the CallVantage service anyway.

Rev. Moon pushing genocide

Rev. Moon pushing genocide 01/16/2004 11:31 AM

Here's another racist influential leader ranting, this time about genocide.

"There will be a purge on God’s orders, and evil will be eliminated like shadows," the Unification Church leader Rev. Sun Myong Moon, the owner and primary funder of money-losing right-wing Washington Times, said last week. (The comments were posted online by Rev. Moon’s webmaster and picked up by blogger John Gorenfeld.) "Gays will be eliminated, the 3 Israels will unite. If not then they will be burned. We do not know what kind of world God will bring but this is what happens. It will be greater than the communist purge but at God’s orders."

Already testing in San Diego, Cox Communications cable TV service is getting ready to roll out HD programming in quite a few markets, including Phoenix, Arizona, and will bundle an optional Scientific Atlanta 8010 high-definition DVR for only $10 more a month (or maybe that's $10 for the service and another $10 for the box). Still, yum! Anymore trying this out in San Diego? What do you think? (Thanks, Ben!)

Pushing Broadcasters To Free Up Spectrum

Pushing Broadcasters To Free Up Spectrum 09/20/2004 04:56 AM
In all the discussions over wireless spectrum, the elephant in the room continues to be the incredible amount of spectrum TV broadcasters have had for years, given to them for free, which they don't want to give up. The spectrum was originally given to them to get them to move to digital broadcasts, but it was set up in a way that made it easy for the broadcasters to hang onto the spectrum for as long as they wanted: until 85% of the country had equipment to receive digital broadcasts, the broadcasters could keep the spectrum. In other words, all of the incentives were for the broadcasters to drag their feet -- which is exactly what they've done. Now John McCain is trying to push the issue by allocating $1 billion to help more people get digital receivers for their TVs. While a billion seems like a lot, it's nothing compared to what the freed up spectrum is likely to be worth in a variety of ways. Some of it is likely to be auctioned off for a lot more than $1 billion, and other portions can (hopefully) be opened up for open spectrum purposes, which should drive a variety of new wireless technologies, services and applications. The spectrum situation with the broadcasters is a complete mess. At this point, just about anything to get some of that spectrum back from the broadcasters seems like a good plan.

Alvarion Already Pushing For Mobile

Alvarion Already Pushing For Mobile
Not-Really-WiMax 01/06/2005 05:24 PM
This is apparently the time of the year when wireless companies have been trying out there "quick! look over there!" strategies, where they point to what's coming next, rather than discuss the problems they face today. First we had that Super 3G thing, which was an attempt to make people forget about other wireless technologies, and now we have Alvarion claiming that they're going to push forward with mobile WiMax, despite the lack of a standard. This is probably being done for three reasons. First, realizing that all the hype around WiMax is going to quickly turn to disappointment when people realize that it's not a mobile solution at all and it's not going to replace your DSL or your mobile phone any time soon. So, being able to point to mobile WiMax as "coming soon" rather than "coming sometime, maybe," probably looks better. Second, the WiMax folks are facing increasing competition from other wireless offerings -- some of which exist already and offer high speeds and mobility (such as FLASH-OFDM and UMTS TDD). Finally, Alvarion, who has bet big on WiMax, knows that plenty of companies are working hard to make sure mobile WiMax never exists. Alvarion (and Intel, who supports this move) are probably trying to force the issue by showing some working "pre-standard" (read: proprietary technology that we hope might possibly define the standard at some point, maybe) WiMax equipment, in the hopes that it will push past some of the obstacles other companies are laying down in front of any mobile WiMax standard.
