Re: Setting up an internal Facebook might just solve your company’s communications and engagement problems

Daniel J. Pritchett — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:58:34 -0000

If you're specifically asking about the fbOpen platform:

No, Facebook won't have access to your private data if you run your own fbOpen server inhouse. That said, your security team should do a code audit to verify this claim.

Facebook benefits from open sourcing this platform in the same way any company does: Goodwill from the tech community along with a bit of free testing and tech support if anyone tries to use it and identifies problems. Anything that increases Facebook's footprint in the identity/social markets is good for business.

All that said, you should really look at using an off the shelf or pay-per-month Facebook-style solution instead such as Jive or Newsgator.

Good luck!

1. Will FB administrators be able to get ahold of our internal, personal & confidential data, even if it is located within a gated firewall.

2. How does FB benefit by offering this platform to corporations?

Before I pitch the idea, I want to ensure there aren't any legal repercussions. Any advice you have is much appreciated.

Thank you!

Re: Running your own vanity OpenID provider is a horrible idea

This blog uses OpenID delegation now - is that what you're referring to?

If such a problem happens you just need to edit your theme/template/whatever and add one TINY little piece of html to forward all the login requests to myopenid or whatever you want to use.

The issues about the plugin are issues about the plugin, NOT the technology.

Seriously, it's two fricking lines of html, a bunch of <link> tags.

Should anyone still have troubles with the same thing, I'm willing to help on twitter.

Looks like Novell is taking a stab at solving this problem with the announcement of their new "Pulse" collaboration product. http://www.novell.com/produ...

I wonder how they implemented it - through a browser-based clipboard grabber or through a Jing-style program that individual users have to install locally?

Thanks for the tip - Rich. I guess Disqus has coopted my RSS link in the sidebar. I think I'll just hide that admin panel. If you look up at the title bar there's a "Subscribe" button that will lead to my Feedburner entries RSS: http://feeds2.feedburner.co...

Re: Multiply the spread of your ideas with free syndication tools

Gail Gardner — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:12:41 -0000

Great discussion and I totally agree with you Daniel with some refinements to your idea. First a few specific comments:

1) @entmike: There are a great many 50-somethings more versed in using the Internet and collaborating than the 20-somethings. Check the demographics on Social Media sites used by early adopters if you doubt me. We've left careers at places like IBM behind, used Lotus Notes years ago, and maintained not only AS400s but also multi-CPU mainframes with International distributed networks so we're not all obsolete. ;-) Lotus Notes was intended to be a tool for collaborating - not a mailbox. It was very slow but you could sync docs.

2) @Daniel Your wife may be correct that some will misinterpret your comments; however, from my perspective you stated your points professionally and concisely. The only way to be sure you do not offend anyone is to do nothing.

The bottom line is the tools are still being built and they simply are not really there yet. RSS feeds do make far more sense than email although both can deluge us with more than we can handle.

One thing about collaborating - letting others change what you're working on - is that you may not have realized that most people are not contributors. They do what they're told and do not create original work. When you collaborate with others you respect who bring unique specialized skills to the table that changes everything.

We must work together to create solutions that allow us to collaborate. The advanced tasks I am working on require systems that do not exist yet and when I explain them at donationcoder I usually get no responses, possibly because they are too complex.

I would love to collaborate with both of you and anyone else who "gets it". Drop by my GrowMap blog or find GrowMap on Social Networks including Twitter, FriendFeed, StumbleUpon, cliKball, Ning - most major sites. Entmike is welcome to play Devil's advocate any time and I really want to hear more of your ideas, Daniel.

Thanks Daniel. Yes, more good stuff is coming ;-) Thank you for the feedback on profiles, that is also an area where we will continue to enhance.

No apology necessary Alan, thanks for commenting. I am definitely a
fan of Signals right now and I hear there are even more cool things
coming in the next release.

Your integration of a decent contact list with your micromessaging /
wiki platform is my favorite feature currently. I'd really like to see
you borrow some of Newsgator's profile goodies too like the people-
centric keyword map and social graph visualizations.

Re: Setting up an internal Facebook might just solve your company’s communications and engagement problems

We are moving towards a Sharepoint rollout (MOSS 2007) and I'm getting myself involved as much as possible in hopes of keeping the sociability of the platform high.

For existing implementations you might want to check Deloitte (D Street as seen here http://www.slideshare.net/w... and Lockheed Martin - they both have MOSS-based Facebook-style applications working in house.

For the "internal facebook" question the big benefit seems to be in expert location. I addressed that to some extent here: http://www.sharingatwork.co...

Let me know if you'd like help getting in touch with people closer to live implementations of the internal facebook idea.

Re: Innovation Webinar Live Chat (Spigit/Forrester hosting)

Daniel J. Pritchett — Fri, 22 May 2009 10:16:52 -0000

This post looks a bit confusing in retrospect, so here's an explanation of what I was trying to do:

Hutch & Oliver hosted a webinar last week. Hutch promoted a Twitter hashtag (#innov I think) and a Friendfeed room to facilitate conversation around the webinar.

I found myself enjoying the Friendfeed chat around the session so I decided to experiment with the relatively new "embed this thread in an outside web page" feature from FF. I had recently seen this done to great effect in a post on Louis Gray's blog debating the merits of attending college.

Re: Running your own vanity OpenID provider is a horrible idea

jaakkoh — Wed, 20 May 2009 12:56:37 -0000

You can use any of your Blogger blog URLs as an OpenID. Add the (free) option to use a custom URL and you can see that Blogger OpenID combines the best of the both worlds: Have a big and stable player handle your OpenID but use your own URL.

I think that using your own domain (or a domain controlled by someone that you really, really trust will not lock you into undesired things) is not just a good idea but in the longer run it's the only good idea - and the fact that Google offers it for free makes it doubly nice.

I also think that Google offering custom domain OpenID for free means that in the longer run there will always be someone who will offer the service for free (with decent terms). Now, this may be obvious to geeks (and I haven't looked into the OpenID delegation well enough to understand if that ensures the same thing) but since I just recently realized this whole thing I figured that there are also those who haven't yet realized this.

E.g. http://blogtemplate20.blogs... provides details on how to set things up (see the link to previous post for nitty gritty).
