The problem Building a good user experience

is difficult

Password anti-pattern

We need to project personas

It’s also a brand power warThe Nascar problem

The Nascar problem

The return has to be much greater than the effort

RSS/Atom feeds A true data portability

success story

You can integrate thousands of data sources into

new applications

You can simply chain data sources together so the sum is

more valuable than its parts

You can create pluggabletools for your users

The future

We don’t really own data in the same way we

own property

The value of most datadecays over time

Data can be replicated and its ownership diluted or lost

Add microformats and RSS/Atom to your site

1

Make sure your URL design is RESTful

2

Add OAuth to all your password protected

RSS feeds and web pages

3

Think about discovery

4

Reconsider your conceptsof data ownership

Build systems that time decay data

5

Chaining open standards together provides massively

greater value than the sum of the parts
