@toddbarnard "Walled Gardens doomed to fail" is old thinking #facebook is bringing the web into the garden. How do we adapt #facebook

@davewiner - sorry, wrong @ reply there

@toddbarnard I hope I'm wrong, but seems like #facebook cries "privacy" when you ask about getting content out, but "open!" when importing.

@toddbarnard Yes, but embracing OAuth doesn't do anything to open the content. in 2010, are there ways to get content out of #facebook yet?

@apgwoz: haven't looked enough at the protocol -- would #openlike be useful to faveheart?

Wishful Thinking Day: Wish Facebook would support Salmon to send comments there back to my blog #facebook #openweb #salmon

Also, will be nice when my blog supports Salmon #salmon #openweb

@apgwoz technically you're right, but non-nerds don't know how to use it. plus, no visual reminder on the page to encourage use #openlike

Putting "like" in an iframe (current state-of-the-art) walls it off from interacting with the local site. How to fix #openlike #facebook

Quick thought: What if instead of putting Facebook "Like" buttons on every site on the web, every authentication service could provide it's own "like" service (or point to the "like" service of your choice)?. Then - to give the extreme example - if I used an OpenID service to log in to Facebook, the "like" on Facebook would be posted via my preferred "like" service? Hows that for Open?

Re my last tweet - this desk jockey is not running for charity. Wife and 9yo are, though. :-)

Introducing the 9yo to Star Wars. Time to celebrate!

Just a thought - the iPhone OS still doesn't have a way to use the file system directly, however with the iPad Apple's iWork apps such as Numbers and Pages do give you a Mobile-Safari-like paging view of your recently created documents.
