google-friend-connect-plugins - Google Code
by holyver
Google Friend Connect provides simple user authentication using any OpenID account, including Google, Yahoo and AIM. Instead of filling in yet another profile form, your users can connect to their existing identities, showing current profile pictures.
By making login easier and connected to existing identity, you'll see increased engagement and comment activity.
The Google Friend Connect plugins are proof-of-concept code to integrate users with external accounts into your site. A user can visit your site and leave a comment with a Google Account, Yahoo Account, any OpenID, or in future other sites that participate in OpenSocial.
See separate instructions for the WordPressPlugin, DrupalPlugin and PhpbbPlugin

by holyver

OAuth, OpenID…they sound like the same thing and they kind of do vaguely similar things But I’m here to tell you, OAuth is not Open ID. They have a different purpose. I’ve been playing around with OAuth a bit in the past couple weeks and have a grip on what it’s aiming to do and what it’s not aiming to do.

What is Shindig?
Shindig is a container for hosting social application consisting of four parts:
* Gadget Container JavaScript: core JavaScript foundation for general gadget functionality (read more about gadget functionality). This JavaScript manages security, communication, UI layout, and feature extensions, such as the OpenSocial API.
* Gadget Rendering Server: used to render the gadget XML into JavaScript and HTML for the container to expose via the container JavaScript.
* OpenSocial Container JavaScript: JavaScript environment that sits on top of the Gadget Container JavaScript and provides OpenSocial specific functionality (profiles, friends, activities, datastore).
* OpenSocial Data Server: an implementation of the server interface to container-specific information, including the OpenSocial REST APIs, with clear extension points so others can connect it to their own backends.
Shindig is the reference implementation of OpenSocial API specifications, a standard set of Social Network APIs which includes:
* Profiles
* Relationships
* Activities
* Shared applications
* Authentication
* Authorization

Google Wave : Plateforme de communication centralisée
by holyver

Aujourd'hui à la conférence Google I/O (celle ou les participants se sont vu offrir un téléphone HTC Magic, aussi nommé Google Ion, gratuitement), une annonce de Google n'est pas passée inaperçue. Google veut avec Wave (vague en anglais) révolutionner la façon dont on communique sur le net. L'ambition est immense, le projet également, mais l'enthousiasme généré par les développeurs suite à cette annonce donne de grand espoirs. Plus une communauté est active sur un projet, plus celui-ci peut réussir. Google a testé cet effet avec Android, et veut maintenant reproduire le schéma.

sfFirePHP plugin
by Xavier Lacot
FirePHP enables you to print to your Firebug Console using a simple PHP function call. What makes FirePHP different? All data is sent via a set of X-FirePHP-Data response headers. This means that the debugging data will not interfere with the content on your page. Thus FirePHP is ideally suited for AJAX development.
