TypeKey FAQ
TypeKey FAQ
04/27/2004 09:32 PMTypeKey:
Here's a pretty extensive FAQ on TypeKey — the Microsoft
Passport-ish blog comment authentication service from Six Apart. It's
a central authentication service which allows you to log in to TypeKey
and use that identitiy to post to multiple blogs. They provide a good
example:
Alice visits Bob's weblog for the first time and wishes to leave a
comment. Bob only allows comments by registered users on his weblog.
So, to leave a comment, Alice signs up for TypeKey and posts a comment
to Bob's weblog using that identity.
Because Bob requires his approval of comments by all new registered
visitors, the comment doesn't appear on Bob's site until he approves
Alice as an allowed commenter. Once he's done that, Alice's comments
automatically appear, and any future comments that she makes appear
right away as well.
Now Alice goes to Carol's weblog. Carol also allows comments by
registered users only. Alice signs in using her existing TypeKey
account and posts a comment to Carol's weblog, which goes into Carol's
moderation queue, because this is Alice's first comment on her
weblog.
But Alice hates Carol, so she left a nasty comment! Carol receives
the comment via email, and doesn't like the tone of it. So she logs
into Movable Type and bans Alice from posting comments to her
weblog.
Alice is now banned from posting comments to Carol's weblog, but
she is still allowed to post comments to Bob's weblog.
It's worth reading if you're going to move to Movable Type 3.0.
There's a lot of information in there,

More on the Typekey upgrade...
05/16/2004 12:18 PMSo my installation of Movable Type has never been the simplest of
things. I've had to use cgiwrap to avoid some of the more arcane
problems with pair's process throttling and I've got MT installed in a
completely different directory and domain to my site. For someone with
as little overt server knowledge as myself, this means that every time
something's supposed to be a simple installation or adaptation
process, everything goes completely wrong. This is all by way of me
saying that I've still got lots of problems around the place with
integrating the Typekey
registration system, including but not limited to it randomly not
working, having lots of really nasty preview screens that remain
totally untemplated and generally feeling more than a little rough
around the edges. I'll endeavour to get it all sorted out this evening
so that the Monday morning crowd don't start snarking out at me...
Plus: Lots of actually interesting posts on real subjects to
come soon!

04/16/2005 09:44 PMI can't tell you how bummed out I am that TypeKey doesn't seem to
want to work for me. I've had several folks look at it - oh well.
So I'd like to reach out to Don Park - as the guy I just
signed a deal with in Korea is named Park and then there's Troutgirl
(who WON'T be my friend on Y 360) and so many other Parks, Kims and
Lees. And I won't even get into the Moons.
I heard that the reason why there are so many of these common names
- is that as Korea was leaving the fuedal era - these names were the
cheapest ones to buy - for theserfs - as they sought out last
names.
For many centuries lower caste people were not allowed last
names.
So YES - I'll be returning to Korea - YES - I want to meet
everyone's friends and hang - and I especially want to meet the
OhMyNews folks.
I really dug Korea. The cyber culture is highly evolved in the
masses - the whole place is a perculator petrie dish.

There Are Alternatives To User
Registration
06/24/2004 06:03 PMJust last week we wrote about how many more newspaper sites were
making the mistake of
forcing
users to register, even though it wasn't helping them at all.
First, it was drastically cutting their traffic by keeping out all the
casual visitors (and links from blogs or other news aggregation
sources) who don't want to register. That is, it's
reducing
their ad inventory. Second, even that additional info that they claim
would help them sell more targeted ads is wrong, since many users just
use bogus information. So, they get fewer users and useless info.
This doesn't seem like a recipe for success. Earlier this week, I
sent a note to that effect to the Sydney Morning Herald, which is
trying to implement a registration scheme. They wrote me back,
ignoring my points, and simply cutting and pasting the reason for
adding registration. Steve Outing has written up a piece for Editor &
Publisher explaining
why online newspapers don't need
to go to forced registration. First, he points out that one of
the main problems with forced registration is that the users don't
feel they're really getting anything of value -- and it clearly turns
off casual readers. Instead, he suggests setting up offerings that
add real value to get users to register, while still letting the
casual reader in free. In that way, you also get rid of much of the
dirty data, by giving users a reason to be honest. It seems like a
smart solution: you don't lose any visitors, and for a core subset of
loyal readers you get good data. It's so intelligent, in fact, that
most online newspapers will ignore the idea.

News site registration
News site registration
07/16/2004 11:46 AMThe single hottest topic in the online news industry at
the moment is that of required registration. A number of large news
sites (the New York Times, the
Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune) have moved
to this model, and many local newspapers are following suit.
If you haven't seen BugMeNot, go and check it out now.
It's a simple service for sharing free news site accounts, and it's
started to upset some people in the news industry. A post to the online-news mailing
list inquiring about possible legal action against the site
prompted me to reply with the following:
The flaw here is not with BugMeNot - it's with the entire
concept of
user registration in its present form. The reason BugMeNot works is
that there is absolutely no value to an end user in keeping their
account to themselves. If you want to stop people from sharing their
accounts, give them an incentive not to. This is not a difficult thing
to do - I have a large number of accounts on different community sites
which are used to contribute to discussions and manage my personal
information. I would never dream of sharing those accounts with others
- it would allow other people to impersonate me and damage my
reputation. An account that only allows me to read content (a one-way
interaction) is of no value to me, so why not share the account with
others?
BugMeNot is not a new idea by any stretch of the
imagination: shared
accounts have existed for as long as sites have required registration
for spurious reasons. For as long as I can remember, members of the
MetaFilter community have worked together to set up username/password
combinations of metafilter/metafilter on sites that require
registration to bypass the irritation of setting up yet another
account.
If you want to fight BugMeNot, the solution is to monitor
the site and
ban any accounts for your own site that appear there - but that's just
fighting the symptoms. The core problem is the whole idea of
registration itself: it's anti-web, anti-user, it doesn't scale and
it's a sign of extreme short term thinking. Imagine if every site on
the web required registration - no one would use it!
As a web user, I see registration as nothing more than an
unnecessary
irritation. Before BugMeNot I would simply hit "Back" whenever I saw a
registration screen; now I use it to carry on through to the articles
and accompanying ads. As a heavy web user who buys online almost as
frequently as offline I'm exactly the kind of demographic sites should
be trying to attract.
Reading the above a few days later, I think it still
accurately represents my thoughts on the free registration model.
Adrian has also posted his thoughts
on registration, which run along very similar lines to mine.
For a great example of the mentality behind registration,
check out this sp
iel from the Toronto Star (via Craig Saila):
Our main goal of asking you to become a registered member
of thestar.com is to improve and enhance your online experience with
us. Registration is an important piece of our long-term strategy in
building a valuable audience for our advertisers and helping us in
setting the priorities for future site development and
enhancements.
[...]
By asking you to share some information with us we are
able to increase the value of our site to advertisers, who help
support the cost of producing one of Canada's top news sites, by
offering them the ability to target their advertising messages based
on the information you provide.
And that's the problem right there: as a user, the value
proposition of having more targetted ads thrown at me just isn't a
good enough incentive for me to jump through their hoops.

Why registration-sites suck
Why registration-sites suck
07/20/2004 06:15 AMWired News has a good piece on the backlash against the growing trend
of news-sites requiring logins to read their articles, covering
automated tools like the Mozilla bugmenot plugin that automatically
spoofs your logins to 14,000+ sites.
The point that everyone seems to miss is that no one can possibly keep
track of a thousand passwords for a thousand websites, which means
that these sites undoubtably contain recycled passwords (admonishments
from security experts to never recycle a password are the infosec
equivalent of telling people to "eat less and exercise more" --
simplistic doctrine that is vanishingly unlikely to be adhered to in
the field).
The more you recycle a password, the higher the likelihood that you
will use it in a sensitive context -- a bank site, a message board, an
IM client, an auction site -- where someone might impersonate you or
even commit identity theft crimes against you.
What's even worse is that while these news-sites are willing to spend
the computational cycles necessary to receive your password, none that
I've seen use SSL for their login, which means that the NYT and others
demand that you send your password in the clear when you sit down at a
WiFi cafe and want to read the password. This is a potential disaster
if that NYT password is also a sensitive one somewhere else: it's a
case of really callous disregard for user privacy and security.
