Hangout for experimental confirmation and demonstration of software, computing, and networking. The exercises don't always work out. The professor is a bumbler and the laboratory assistant is a skanky dufus.

2005-03-11Collaborative Systems: Social ProtocolsACM News Service: Will Social Databases Give Way to Social Protocols?. This blurb refers to the blog of a ZDNet commentator. Does that make it journalism, when it is abstracted by a news service? David Berlind in a 2005-03-01 ZDNet posting suggests that a protocol could alleviate the need for intermediated services and allow individuals to provide identity and affinity information on their own sites and pages using the XHTML Friends Network (XFN) microformat. The protocolaspect is the use of the rel attribute in links to suggest the relationship that is claimed as part of a link from one party's material to that of another. I am presently busy with rel="nofollow" additions to many links among my own pages that confuse linking-based search-relevance schemes. (It is cool that "orcmid" is at least as unique on the Internet as "Scoble." It is less cool that most of the links that Google finds for my nom di bit are trivial -- dare I say banal -- references within my own material.) Meanwhile, I can see an adaptation of something like this as part of TROSTing authentication and establishment of authority via web-of-trust social-protocol assertions. Hmm.
