exactly john,
but you know what makes twitter and facebook BIG so they called it
"the social revolution " ?
it wasnt java script or CSS this was invented way before , it was
IMHO http://oauth.net so it gives the user the ability
to "comment" " sign up" or "like" without registering or confirmation,
One klick partizipation is the magic of our social life
The Exchange of profile information with oauth made the world simpler
but raised a lot of privacy concerns
because you cant verify each app that pulls your information out of
facebook or twitter.
So i believe the freedombox needs something similar, like http://openid.net
or http://oauth.net
for example because we have centralised identity providers allready
