Social Web TV, aimed to be a weekly show on new developments in “the social web”:
With a revolving cast of characters, we’ll have some of the key technologists working on building the Social Web to explain what is going on; but this isn’t a show about technology. It’s about explaining what’s going on in the fight to make sure you have control of your data, your content, and your privacy — and the freedom to access your stuff from all over the Web.
While I like the initiative, I still think the same as with all people jumping on the video bandwagon: why not make it an audio podcast? Probably easier to produce, and easier to consume… We do have too little time to watch all the interesting video content out there, while we still have time to squeeze in some more interesting listening material while in the car or in the gym…
So for now I’m still hooked to the Dataportability in motion podcast - the dataportability guys have a slightly different strategy, but they cover the same as this Social Web vodcast…
A number of emerging technologies will soon collectively enable an open social web in which users control their information and it can flow between multiple sites and services. OpenID, OAuth, microformats, OpenSocial, the Social Graph API, friends-list portability, and more will be discussed, as well as a coherent vision for how the pieces fit together and how developers can start taking advantage of them now.

The amazingly talented Aza Raskin demoes what Firefox mobile could be. One-touch, so less sophisticated than the Iphone browser - harder choices to make interface-wise (via).

Yet another interview on “Here comes everybody”. I like his expressive grimaces in this interview though :-). Interesting points on separate identities and privacy.
