Hey instagrammers -- anyone know what the canonical web presence for Instragram is? I see that they link to web.stragr.am on the offical Instagram blog, however it's not 'official'..
@109016304695129264328 @110242419133439594545 know anything more?

Embeds United!
I'm somewhat alarmed that there really isn't a "Life of a Widget/Embed" that has best practices on how to embed Google Content on third party sites.
Has anyone tackled this before? Obviously +1, adsense, youtube, maps, analytics and others all use their own mechanisms.
Is it time to consider deploying common infrastructure for these use cases? Especially for systems that require the ability to identify a Google user?
So here's my proposal.
* Use oauth2 semantics everywhere: tokens and api requests.
* Use a single bootstrap system to identify js domain, collect API keys as needed.
* Generate two new types of OAuth tokens that do not contain user info.
- 'Anonymous-by-domain'
- 'Anonymous-by-domain-by-api-key'
* Allow an account widget that can move you from anonymous -> identified -> authorized. (including multilogin, signin and account registration)
If all the various embeds used this common system we'd have a way to enable personalization on third party sites more easily and provide a clear way to go beyond.
Am I barking up the wrong tree?

.. random ES thought on content-based circle classifications..
Imagine if we could infer the type of circle based on either the content you post there (via NLP), the linguistic name, or user specification?
We could:
-- boost/dampen the volume of a post based on circle matching:
I have you in my _Photos_ circle, you share to your _heavy_metal_ circle == dampen.
-- You post your high scores to _public_ + _chess_, I follow you in a circle named _games_ == boost.
-- My wife posts to _family_, I have her in _family_ == boost
-- My wife posts to _Tennis_ and public, I don't have her in a sports circle == dampen.
The reason I've been thinking about this is another what-if --
-- what if Apps had a one-to-one relationship with a plus page?
-- When I add an App, it can circle me back.
-- If I perform an action on the third party site the app can plus-mention me, or it can group together users into relavant circles to send updates.
-- I can put noisy apps in a circle and lower the volume.
Note that App could be a Game (like Angry Birds), an App (like Remember the Milk) or even a web site (like 8tracks or Soundcloud..)
Maybe this is stretching the model too much, but it's certainly fun to ponder!

Anyone looking into this? On your radar @103217625524699361065 ?
Oh and can someone tell Danny Sullivan that he should properly link his accounts on his profile?

These are not the Guava you're looking for..

Otherwise pretty accurate, if a bit heavy on my youtube viewing history...

After almost a month our Flume MR is finally running again. The mystery of the broken shard has been finally solved!
*shard (n.)*
a piece of broken ceramic, metal, glass or rock typically having sharp edges.
*sharding (v.)*
dunno… but you will likely wound yourself and you get to keep all the pieces.

Just registered for this event with the hope that I'll be able to get OAuth or XFN support in MediaWiki. Sadly EventBrite has every share mechanism except the +1 button..

tmux FTW
If you're still using screen or byobu you might want to take a look at tmux. I finally took the plunge after some weird screen session deaths.
Anyone have some googler tmux.conf's? Mine is still pretty bare bones so far -- I'm going cold turkey tmux (except for my prefix key which I've always set to C-z)

Orkut contact import for Google+ was soft-launched this week for people in India and Brazil.
We're not promoting this externally, but I feel the need to give big props to Michael Sindelar, Eduardo Thuler , Victor Ribeiro , Paulo Golgher, and Diego Fernandes for making this happen.

This is the proposed new Opensocial Mission statement. What do you think? Let me know by wednesday's Opensocial Board meeting.
_Believing that people are the bond of interactions on the Web, the mission of the OpenSocial Foundation is resolved to fundamentally changing and advancing the social Web. We aim to foster a dynamic, participatory ecosystem that is open to all, ensuring the free and transparent development of a diverse set of community driven specifications and an honest and open exchange of ideas._

Well played, very well played.
Now please request that they send invites to all their fans _using the product_.
This has the potential to be a major traffic mover.
And Google Korea -- see if SNSD will do the same!
