Mr. Hammersley is responsible for Linkr:
The current version of Linkr allows you to authenticate with your Flickr username and password, and then tells you all about the websites your Flickr contacts write.I say current version because the code is in there to add in the thing I want it to do, namely to display the last x urls those sites themselves link to.
Other services include Connectr, Playr, and Reviewr.
There is some more stuff here. Single sign on and third-party authentication anyone? Read onβ¦
Avi will want to look at this (PDF) to pick out the holes — where does it fall down in comparison to his MISO suggestion for sign-ons?
While you’re at it, Avi, I also found this recent Life with Alacrity post that mentioned SDSI:
To adopt his method for FOAF requires everyone to have a FOAF service script somewhere and not just a data file. But we’ve seen broad adoption of personal RSS and Trackback services, so I don’t think this is a huge obstacle to overcome.
Just like I’ve been saying. Yes, I will run my own profile/authentication server. No problem. Folks without access to a server can get it from hosted sites, like those darn Flickr folks. Actually, Stewart et al at Ludicorp: please give us a GNE/Flickr script snippet written in PHP that we can put on our site.
