Flutterby™! : Who am I?

Went to this morning's Identity Meeting. A good get-together, got me thinking that I need to implement OpenID for Flutterby, to go along with LID (and I haven't even checked to make sure that I've kept up with the spec for that lately), but YADIS should be out (with implementations!) by the end of the week, and that'll be kind of an overarching discovery mechanism to say "which of these protocols does the user support and want to use".

Also got more interested in some of the ideas that the RDF folks have been hollering about for quite a while in terms of distributed classification. Some of the things that the PubSub folks were talking about in conjunction with the soon-to-be-out XRI-with-URLs sounds like it might be a reasonable way to share things like topics for entries in a way that doesn't degenerate into Technorati tags.

But overall I got a feeling of two things: One, that I'm glad to be back in application software, there's just too much handwavy buzzwordy stuff in the web app space, obscuring some fairly simple, although occasionally profound infrastructure; and, two, that it'd be really cool if there were another person or two playing with similar weblog software who'd like to try the occasional interop experiment...
