OPENNESS                                                                   IN THE

     ERA OF THE

     SOCIAL WEB

Iʼm here to talk to you about Openness in the Era of the Social Web.

Before I begin, I want to point out this is not a technical talk, but is somewhat more abstract.

My goal is to get you to thinking about “openness” and to consider how it applies to your work today.

“The Javascript Trap”




“You may be running non-free programs on your computer every day without realizing it —
through your web browser.

“JavaScript ... was once used for minor frills in web pages, such as cute but inessential
navigation and display features. It was acceptable to consider these as mere extensions of
HTML markup, rather than as true software; they did not constitute a significant issue.

gone is the time when open source software ALONE is enough to have freedom.

richard stallman has been a staunch advocate of open source, but as you can intuit from his
comments about javascript, in the era of the social web, we need a new narrative for “open”...
37Signal’s Basecamp

But this ignores the fundamental design advantage of cloud computing — which is that
you’re basically relying on someone else to do the hard stuff of improving software and
dealing with servers and all that stuff.

More importantly, software today is becoming more and more social — so big deal if you can
get your data out (as you can here with Basecamp) if it means that you lose the metadata and
can no longer collaborate? We’re moving beyond the era where source code was the primary
mechanism of lock-in to one where identity, metadata and facilitating sharing are the things
that we should be most concerned with.
What does open mean?




which is forcing us, I believe, to reconceive of what “openness” means.
Let’s begin with Web 2.0
“Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all
           connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that
           make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform:
           delivering software as a continually-updated service
           that gets better the more people use it, consuming and
           remixing data from multiple sources, including individual
           users, while providing their own data and services in a
           form that allows remixing by others, creating network
           effects through an “architecture of participation,” and
           going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver
           rich user experiences.”

Five rules
        The perpetual beta becomes a process for engaging
        customers.

        Share and share-alike data, reusing others’ and providing
        APIs to your own.

        Ignore the distinction between client and server.

        On the net, open APIs and standard protocols win.

        Lock-in comes from data accrual, owning a namespace or
        non-standard formats.



Tim also laid out five rules that accompanied his definition from back in Dec 2006.

The perpetual beta becomes a process for engaging customers.
Share and share-alike data, reusing others’ and providing APIs to your own.
Ignore the distinction between client and server.
On the net, open APIs and standard protocols win.
Lock-in comes from data accrual, owning a namespace or non-standard formats.

and this was all aimed at speaking to open source developers who saw the world through the
lense of Linux and hardware — and weren’t yet taking the network as a platform seriously.
now, some people want to suggest that Web 3.0 is coming. it’s like the modern version of the
apocalypse: everyone wants to be the first to predict its arrival.

about a month ago, Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher became the latest pundits to suggest
that, no, really, Web 3.0 is upon us (CLICK)
“So what’s the seminal development that’s ushering in the era of
        Web 3.0? It’s the real arrival, after years of false predictions,
        of the thin client, running clean, simple software, against
        cloud-based data and services. The poster children for this
                                     Bullshit.
        new era have been the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, which have
        sold 37 million units in less than two years and attracted 35,000
        apps and one billion app downloads in just nine months.”


                           — Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher, Welcome to Web 3.0




writing that the real arrival, after years of false predictions, of the thin client, running
clean, simple software, against cloud-based data and services is Web 3.0. And that the
iPhone and iPod Touch are its horsemen. (CLICK)

Well, I call bullshit.
Bullshit.

“After all, Web 2.0 was not a new version of the web, but a
           name that tried to capture what distinguished the companies
           that survived the dotcom bust from those that survived, and point
           the way forward for new companies entering the market.”

Web 2.0 isn’t a version number. Instead, it was a narrative aimed at the industry to explain to
them the rise of the age of cloud computing.
Open source?




and so if we consider the last 10 years of open source, it’s really been about a slow, grudging
migration from a hardware-based perspective to the cloud.
most people know of open source because of the public battle between mozilla’s firefox and
internet explorer.

sure, maybe some people have heard of linux, but few people actually use it in day-to-day
computing.
Yoism: the world’s first open source religion


but there has also been something of a religious fervor in the open source community,
rejecting all that which is not 100% open and free.
and it’s been taking to some hilarious extremes.

Still, this is what I might call “institutional drift”, which is what happens when you lose of
track what you’re fighting for.
and so when we see things like this, where camel is using the open brand to advertise their
cigarettes, we must call them out.

this is not “open” as we think of it.

this is an example of what i call “open washing”. it’s the proverbial wolf (mascarading as a
desert animal) in sheep’s clothing.

if we go back to the original premise of Stallman’s call for software freedom, it was about a
basic LIBERTARIAN idea: to not have to rely on anyone else when running your computer.
“The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.”
                                                                  —thomas jefferson




this is along the lines of what Jefferson meant when he said that “the price of freedom is
eternal vigilance”.

he was talking about “OUR” freedom. the freedom of the individual against oligarchic and
monopolistic power.

Competition &
                    freedom of choice




for me, openness is about competition and freedom of choice
Social networks & monopolies

             data portability                   lowering switching costs
             multi-homing                       increasing reliability
             roaming                            incurring off-network costs
             disaggregation                     service substitutability




Bertil Hatt in Paris, working on his Ph D in economics... talked to me about social network
monopolies.

gave some good ways to think about this.

data portabilility -> lowering switching costs.
multi-homing -> increasing reliability of service by parallelizing access
roaming -> the ability to access your service from someone else’s network
disaggregation -> the ability to substitute services
Photo by Mary Beth Griffo Rigby
phone number portability — concept of being able to switch providers without incurring a
switching fee. we don’t have the concept of social network switching.

furthermore, when the industry was left to its own means, it didn’t make this possible for
free... and so governments had to step in a regulate the industry to ensure this kind of
freedom.

multi-homing... parallelizing our networks to improve robustness.

this is a service called ping.fm — it lets you publish to many networks all at once

making sure that people have access to your data. it might not be ideal, but it’s a good
example of parallelizing access.
here’s an example of roaming.

at&t sent me a text message telling me that they wanted to charge me $20 a megabyte to
access their service because i was on someone else’s network.

it’s expensive; carriers don’t like it. they don’t want to deal with someone else’s customers.

and so this is one of OpenID’s challenges: we have lots of providers, but few relying parties.
Picnik
disaggregation: the ability to choose the service that I want to use without having to import
EVERYTHING AND without having to even create an account.

this is in contrast, for example, to being forced to use a default service, like Photos on
Facebook or how Apple refuses to let apps that compete with their own apps enter the
AppStore.

I think we can start to see where this is going — in a very basic way — by studying
FriendFeed. Already they’re doing a lot of work to minimize the emphasis on services and are
instead focused on two things: People and what they’re sharing. (next: feed formats)
But they’re ending up spending all kinds of resources just getting the basics working, since
our feed formats like ATOM and RSS were designed with blog posts in mind, but people are
doing a lot more on the web today, beyond blogging.

                                                                        Photo by grendelkhan
but adoption of these technologies is key.

I don’t want to compete on the level of social apps that exist today.

we want to move up to a higher level of competition by commoditizing aspects of the
social web that are hard today, but are also basic or fundamental.
...leading to opportunities to
                  innovate user experience




                                                                           Photo by Chris Metcalf
in so doing, we create new opportunities to compete on the basis of better service and user
experience.
so for example, with the spread of javascript-enabled browsers, we’re now seeing a
venerable old project like Drupal be able to compete by enhancing the user experience.

when I joined the project in 2004 as one of the few designers, i was basically forbidden from
using javascript because it wasn’t yet “standard enough”. how times change!
Identity




but all of this is predicated on developing a means for estabishing durable, cross-site identity
on the web.
the individual is basic atomic unity of society.
You can’t have “social”
                      without “society”




we’re really talking about society — the collection of norms, habits and behaviors that define
what a fairly large collection of people are all about.
and since change happens at the level of the individual

a building block technology like openid is critical.

the architecture of the social web must have the individual as its cornerstone.
Real identity




it’s interesting to look at a current trend

people are starting to use their real identity online.
Facebook recommendations
No where is this more obvious than on Facebook.

Here is a list of three people that Facebook has recommended to me.

The second one was suggested because we went to the same high school. Kind of a stretch,
right? I mean, what is that in the photo? A pillow? I have no idea WHO SHE IS
So let’s say I actually dive in and ask Facebook to list ALL the people it thinks I might know...
this is where it gets interesting.

(click)

Now, here I see someone I know. I’ve met Eric in person; I could probably add him as a
friend... but is it really him? It’s not like I have some shared secret with him to verify that this
is actually an online representation of his...

so I decide to do a search — and lo, out of 444 results, he comes up first. Sure, but this is the
same guy from the previous page.

If we have 63 mutual friends, well, that’s starting make this more plausible...

Ok, now I’m feeling pretty confident. In lieu of a shared secret between us, a familiar social
graph is a reasonable substitute. Get that: by revealing one’s social connections I get closer
to someone’s real identity.
your social graph is essentially a kind of identity fingerprint for people who know you and
know who you know.

but this is really only possible because my mutual friends shared their identities first.
@factoryjoe




so some of you might know that I use “factoryjoe” as my username on the web.

But, no one in the real world has any frigging clue who “factoryjoe” is, especially without
context.

And so people have come up to me and called me “Joe” without even thinking about it.

This online identity was becoming better known than me!
@factoryjoe
                        @chrismessina




So I killed it. At least on Twitter. And now I’m just @chrismessina.

Like I was before, and always have been.

But I’ve seen other people do the same thing since I made this change.

And it looks like it’s only becoming more common.
Let’s take a look at another example.

Compare the chat list on the left with the one on the right.

With AIM, you’ve got all these foreign-looking usernames... whereas on the right you have
real names.

understand that this DESIGN decision was as important as Flickr’s public-by-default decision.

Heck, I don’t even know what a “locker gnome” is. But here’s the change.
Eventbox
and you can see this in software like eventbox
Eventbox
why does this option even exist?

This to me proves that we are in a transitional period, from assumed aliases to one of real,
public, transparent identities.

                           Mazlow’s Hierarchy of Needs
now, I think this what this means is that we’re seeing a shift to using real identity because the
social web is becoming a increasingly important piece of many people “self-actualization”.

self-actualization is from mazlow’s hierarchy of needs and is at the top of the pyramid here.

and course, companies are jumping over each other to be namespace for people on the web.
why do you think Facebook is getting into the username business after resisting so long?
Five rules
        The perpetual beta becomes a process for engaging
        customers.

        Share and share-alike data, reusing others’ and providing
        APIs to your own.

        Ignore the distinction between client and server.

        On the net, open APIs and standard protocols win.

        Lock-in comes from data accrual, owning a namespace or
        non-standard formats.



remember Tim O’Reilly’s rules? Yeah, this one.

remember Tim O’Reilly’s rules? Yeah, this one.

let’s look at what these namespaces look like on the web today.
this is how facebook presents me to the world.

i can’t change this. I can’t pick which friends show up here.

i can change my photo... but i can’t alter what’s presented here. this is all left up to
facebook’s discretion.
friendfeed presents an activity-centric view of me.

i can’t change how this looks, but at least it represents parts of what i’m actually doing
Google now lets me have quite a bit of control over my profile, but it makes me look like a
google employee.

oh, and everyone looks the same.
Meanwhile, Twitter is all about what I’m doing, but I can really only customize the colors and
background image... but otherwise, that’s about it.

without context, it can be a bit jarring.
So what if I wanted to just do something like this? I’m not saying this is the best webpage
evar, but the point is, when I host my own identity, it’s up to ME how I present my identity to
the world.

And I believe that it’s at the level of the individual that all change and innovation begins and
so the web’s architecture should reflect that.
and so this is why i use factoryjoe.com as my OpenID. It means that I, as an individual, am in
charge of, and own my own identity.

and what we need to develop, over time, is a way for people who own their own identities —
regardless of whether they delegate to a service or not — to connect to the people and
services that matter to them. (next: asshole)
*
now, do you know what this is?

it’s the asshole of the universe.
* Connect




and like assholes, it seems that everyone wants to have a connect API these days.

the result is what we call the “OpenID NASCAR” where everyone wants their brand shown on
login forms.... (CLICK)
...like this.
when people really just want this.

their goal is to get access to their account

To be fair, this is merely an uncomfortable transitional step along a much longer path
towards open identity on the web. it is a means to an end, but not the end that we seek.
Eventually, I think people will know their OpenID, just like their address, phone number,
screennames, email, and so on... until we get to their OpenID.

And just to be clear, an OpenID shouldn’t have to look like a URL. We’re working to fix that
actually.

But the primary thing you should take away from this point is that we’re creating a standard
to make it possible to have durable, lasting identity on the web.

Why standards?
The open, social web will be built on standards that are free
to implement and that encourage competition at the layer of
service and user experience.
so, one example of this is email standards like SMTP and IMAP. These protocols are
dinosaurs... (CLICK)
but have allowed services like Gmail to be started relatively recently and widespread adoption
by creating the incentive to innovate on top of a basic set of features.
where they’ve created this amazing experience in the iphone version of Gmail. Largely
because of standards.
similarly, Twitter has grown in large part because of its use of SMS, a standard feature of
phones that has been around for ages — that few had previously taken advantage of.

Ironically, you could argue that RSS on Blogger was what lead Ev Williams to his original
success. So, he just seems to be at the right moment leveraging standards as they become
ubiquitous in the marketplace.


of course, one of the best examples of my point is Apple.
and indeed, one of the best examples of the power of standards to change an industry is the
iphone.

it is the benefactor of years of open standards development.

so clearly the open, social web will have an impact on mobile development.

Openness In The Era Of Social Web

  • 1. OPENNESS IN THE ERA OF THE SOCIAL WEB Chris Messina • Open Web Vancouver • June 12, 2009 • Vancouver, Canada Iʼm here to talk to you about Openness in the Era of the Social Web. Before I begin, I want to point out this is not a technical talk, but is somewhat more abstract. My goal is to get you to thinking about “openness” and to consider how it applies to your work today.
  • 2. @chrismessina #owv09 also, if you want to give me a shout out on Twitter, I’m @chrismessina. Today’s hashtag is #owv09
  • 3. “The Javascript Trap” “You may be running non-free programs on your computer every day without realizing it — through your web browser. “JavaScript ... was once used for minor frills in web pages, such as cute but inessential navigation and display features. It was acceptable to consider these as mere extensions of HTML markup, rather than as true software; they did not constitute a significant issue.

  • 9. “The Javascript Trap” “Silently loading and running non-free programs is one among several issues raised by “web applications”. The term “web application” was designed to disregard the fundamental distinction between software delivered to users and software running on the server. “Silently loading and running non-free programs is one among several issues raised by “web applications”. The term “web application” was designed to disregard the fundamental distinction between software delivered to users and software running on the server. “In practical terms, how can we deal with the problem of non-free JavaScript programs in web sites?” So on the one hand, we have this problem with “web applications” where our freedoms, according to Richard Stallman, are in jeopardy.

  • 11. gone is the time when open source software ALONE is enough to have freedom. richard stallman has been a staunch advocate of open source, but as you can intuit from his comments about javascript, in the era of the social web, we need a new narrative for “open”...
  • 12. 37Signal’s Basecamp But this ignores the fundamental design advantage of cloud computing — which is that you’re basically relying on someone else to do the hard stuff of improving software and dealing with servers and all that stuff. More importantly, software today is becoming more and more social — so big deal if you can get your data out (as you can here with Basecamp) if it means that you lose the metadata and can no longer collaborate? We’re moving beyond the era where source code was the primary mechanism of lock-in to one where identity, metadata and facilitating sharing are the things that we should be most concerned with.
  • 13. What does open mean? which is forcing us, I believe, to reconceive of what “openness” means.
  • 15. “Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an “architecture of participation,” and going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences.” — Tim O’Reilly, Web 2.0: Compact Definition? Photo credit: Adam Tinworth “Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all connected devices; Web 2.0 applications are those that make the most of the intrinsic advantages of that platform: delivering software as a continually-updated service that gets better the more people use it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, including individual users, while providing their own data and services in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an “architecture of participation,” and going beyond the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences.”
  • 16. “Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform. Chief among those rules is this: Build applications that harness network effects to get better the more people use them. (This is what I’ve elsewhere called ‘harnessing collective intelligence.’)” — Tim O’Reilly Photo credit: Adam Tinworth Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform. Chief among those rules is this: Build applications that harness network effects to get better the more people use them. (This is what I’ve elsewhere called “harnessing collective intelligence.”)
  • 17. Five rules The perpetual beta becomes a process for engaging customers. Share and share-alike data, reusing others’ and providing APIs to your own. Ignore the distinction between client and server. On the net, open APIs and standard protocols win. Lock-in comes from data accrual, owning a namespace or non-standard formats. Tim also laid out five rules that accompanied his definition from back in Dec 2006. The perpetual beta becomes a process for engaging customers. Share and share-alike data, reusing others’ and providing APIs to your own. Ignore the distinction between client and server. On the net, open APIs and standard protocols win. Lock-in comes from data accrual, owning a namespace or non-standard formats. and this was all aimed at speaking to open source developers who saw the world through the lense of Linux and hardware — and weren’t yet taking the network as a platform seriously.
  • 18. now, some people want to suggest that Web 3.0 is coming. it’s like the modern version of the apocalypse: everyone wants to be the first to predict its arrival. about a month ago, Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher became the latest pundits to suggest that, no, really, Web 3.0 is upon us (CLICK)
  • 19. “So what’s the seminal development that’s ushering in the era of Web 3.0? It’s the real arrival, after years of false predictions, of the thin client, running clean, simple software, against cloud-based data and services. The poster children for this Bullshit. new era have been the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, which have sold 37 million units in less than two years and attracted 35,000 apps and one billion app downloads in just nine months.” — Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher, Welcome to Web 3.0 writing that the real arrival, after years of false predictions, of the thin client, running clean, simple software, against cloud-based data and services is Web 3.0. And that the iPhone and iPod Touch are its horsemen. (CLICK) Well, I call bullshit.
  • 20. Bullshit. writing that the real arrival, after years of false predictions, of the thin client, running clean, simple software, against cloud-based data and services is Web 3.0. And that the iPhone and iPod Touch are its horsemen. (CLICK) Well, I call bullshit.
  • 21. “After all, Web 2.0 was not a new version of the web, but a name that tried to capture what distinguished the companies that survived the dotcom bust from those that survived, and point the way forward for new companies entering the market.” — Tim O’Reilly, responding to Mossberg and Swisher Photo credit: Adam Tinworth Web 2.0 isn’t a version number. Instead, it was a narrative aimed at the industry to explain to them the rise of the age of cloud computing.
  • 22. Open source? and so if we consider the last 10 years of open source, it’s really been about a slow, grudging migration from a hardware-based perspective to the cloud.
