Social Friday: A New Tek-Tips Regular Feature
by Alex Williams |
|
We will start to add some regular features to the space here. We launched close to two months ago. In that time, we have had a number of discussions here about where to take the blog.
A natural topic for us to discuss is the social web. What it means, how it is applied and the organic energy it creates are topics of interest no matter what you do in your profession.
To start things off we have an interview with Molly Holzschlag that we did this week at WebVisions, a conference that explores web design, information architecture with considerable attention on issues related to the social web.
I talked with Molly about the open web and development in an age where open API’s and a mix of different web standards create a whole new data flow. Molly shares her views about iterative web design, the spiral effect and lots more goodies from her years of experience on the forefront of developing the universal web experience.
We’d love your feedback about what you’d like us to discuss about the social web. Feel free to leave a comment, ping me on Twitter (@tektips) or drop me an email: alex at nethawk dot net.

| PayPal UK Launch Security Key - Guest Posting from PayPal I am happy to say they are using VeriSign Identity Protection to deliver this, which means that PayPal Customers will be able to use their token at other sites who join the VIP network. PayPal are the first UK members of the network, but there are around 30 other members in different countries around the world so you can expect to see more places where you can use your token in the UK appearing shortly. Facebook scam - Part 2 This just in from the BBC web site, Symantec have identified a virus that steals user names and passwords, nothing new there. But, if I understand this right, it is delivered through a Facebook invitation from someone you don't know and delivers malware which can then steal user names / passwords and also keylog credit card info. Survey finds passwords are not secure - well d'uh! I don't think the vendor community has been crying wolf about the problems that stronger authentication solves, more like highlighting that this problem is here and growing. Well the discussion I have had recently with many different organisations across many different industries are now resulting in more and more consumer projects in this area |
