De-centralised social networks and Drupal | ISTOS srl - Drupal-based web development

Here at Istos we would love to see a set of Drupal 7 modules that provide support for the complete OStatus stack and see where FOAF ssl could fit into that. The first step we are working towards at is to provide support for Activity Streams for the Drupal 7 port of the Activity module (thanks Scott!). Then we would like to combine these with the PubSubHubbub work to have a working example of Drupal users across Drupal sites subscribing to each other's activity streams.

This is the chapter i'm ducking out on writing ("Building a Social Networking Site that Is Not an Island"). It would be a great, separate book to write, but i'll make sure to point everyone in the directions mentioned in this article.

The Federated Social Web

Another key contact is James Walker.

Giving this talk:

Social Networking continues to grow both in personal use as well as the enterprise. However, the dominate networks of today exist primarily as walled gardens - silos of users. The Federated Social Web is a growing movement to connect users across networks to allow following, status updates, favourites, etc between users on different systems. OStatus (http://ostatus.org/) is an open protocol we've developed at StatusNet (http://status.net/) to implement these features within our software. We'll cover who's implementing it today, and what kind of control a federated model gives companies and individuals. We'll also give first steps on what you can do to create your presence in a federated social web.
