Actually, they are quite different if you give them more than a cursory glance. OSW should support private items and item-level access control. Moreover, the OSW protocol is XMPP with extensions that are beginning to be documented already. Scouring the Noserub mailing lists will reveal that it actually has no documented protocol, and little progress has been made in this direction for over 2 years.

One Social Web…

A lot of the hype this week has been about Google Buzz, and for good reason: Google tends to do internet projects very, very well. But the project that has me most excited is the much more ambitious One Social Web. One Social Web aims to decentralize t…

Thanks Mark for the writeup !

To be fair, it is worth pointing that Google has also the intention to federate Buzz. They plan however to do it in a very different way: using Webfinger, OpenID, OAuth, Salmon, etc... (at least, in my current understanding).

I have personal doubts on how this would work in practice, especially when dealing with non public data and this is why we decided to use XMPP: it provides us with a strong identity and security framework, and it will scale nicely for server-to-server push notifications. But in the end, if the world moves to a HTTP/REST framework for federation, we'll be the first one to adopt it as well !

What matters to us is just to raise awareness and keep pushing for it to happen: one social web. We'll keep you in the loop with our progress !

Thanks for the post. It's great to learn that yesterday Facebook opened up chat (using xmpp) so that you can use any jabber client. They are in a great position to join a decentralized social network. Maybe an xmpp based federated social network approach may happen sooner than we think.
