Tweaking Friend Connect

I'm playing around with the Friend Connect features trying to figure out how to get my Join button to do what this blogs [join button] does (it lets you join and follow at the same time).

Edit: I figured it out.

And I'm working on some other undisclosed features for our new Friend Connect powered blog.

Edit #2: Don't mind my Friend Connect clones (I swear I have OCD or something).

Getting OpenID in the browser

A good read, regarding OpenID authentication through web browsers and a proposal to do this through Gears (since through Gears, Google has already created two web standards, Geolocation and Offline Apps).

Nerding out for a moment regarding OpenID

Because alot of people have to say something bad about Googles OpenID implementation.

(If you don't know what OpenID is go here.)

Things I want to happen during the time left in this year

1. Sony releases a firmware update for PSP owners that add the Friends category from the PS3 and adds the ability to add/remove friends and send messages to friends.

2. Google opens up their OpenID service to all websites.

3. The Zoho Suite fixes their support of Googles OpenID service.

4. Yahoo releases their Y!OS.

5. Myspace finally releases their OpenID service.

6. OpenSocial spec 1.0 is released.

7. Imeem finally releases their OpenSocial application platform.

8. Google Android gets ported to by hackers (maybe the PSP).

9. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is released (I'm sorry, I've become addicted to my PSP, and I feel bad because now I'm neglecting my DS).

10. Barack Obama gets elected president
