Re: [uf-discuss] microformats and privacy
Last year, I brought up the idea of something I named "hprivacy" Nice idea, if there was some way to integrate it with oAuth so you could give the proxy permission to access that data in a standard way that could work really well. The only problem is it would take a fair bit of work for the publisher to implement, but I don't think there's any obvious way around that. ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss

Thom, Last year, I brought up the idea of something I named "hprivacy" and presented a very primitive hprivacy html proxy filter prototype with three groups: pro, family, friends and public. See http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2007-April/009264.html This is a tiny prototype that is not integrated with a tagged social graph, so for now, I simulate the filtering by passing the group in the URL. But you'll get the idea. Some links have moved: http://lebleu.org/projects/hprivacy/index.php (what the public sees) http://lebleu.org/projects/hprivacy/index.php?group=family (what a family member would see) http://lebleu.org/projects/hprivacy/index.php?group=friends http://lebleu.org/projects/hprivacy/index.php?group=pro See the markup: http://lebleu.org/projects/hprivacy/hcard.html (obviously, in real implementation, this would be pulled from a non-public folder) There didn't seem to be much interest on this list. Maybe because it's not so much about data formats and/or because it's about marking up content that is not public to anyone (microformats seems to have a bias toward public content). Let me know what you think. Also, someone helped me design a cool logo: http://hprivacy.org Guillaume ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
Re: [uf-discuss] microformats and privacy
Obviously doesn't publish any information to the web that you want private. For example facebook asks you for your phone number... so it can show it to others... but you don't have to give it that info! Microformats will help "expose" the information you are willing to put out there. (If you want something private... then don't "give it out".) -- Charles Iliya Krempeaux, B.Sc. http://ChangeLog.ca/ Motorsport Videos http://TireBiterZ.com/ Vlog Razor...
