We have been fortunate to have a couple really great articles published about Pibb in the past couple days. The first is a comprehensive look at Pibb by Stephen Collins at Web Worker Daily.
Then we got crunched… IslamCrunch did an interview with me and posted a great article about Pibb, he even went ahead and started an Islam channel on Pibb.

JanRain’s own Josh Hoyt announced to the OpenID mailing list draft 12 of the OpenID Authentication 2.0 specification.
“It’s been a long time since the previous draft, and it’s past time that we get the work that has been done out, so that users and developers can benefit from OpenID 2.0.

Lots of people! The first person to embed Pibb was Robin Millette who noticed the Pibb embedding code appear after a new release and added Pibb chat to his blog. Of course JanRain is also using it for our blog.
Want to contact the people behind the social cycling miniblog-log; Velog? Well go to their contact page… Another site Moneygement also uses Pibb for support
Organizers of the recent BarCampBlock event used Pibb as the back-channel and embedded it in the CrowdVine social network site, making it easy to check all updates (including what was going on via the IRC relay) on one page.

As a relative new comer to the OpenID community it is always interesting to see how far things have come in such a short time. When people contact me and mention the times when there were only 3 OpenID enabled sites its almost hard to believe. Well JanRain is pleased to report another milestone for OpenID, over 1,000 websites have signed up for the MyOpenID affiliate program.

AOL has announced that they are currently supporting OpenID logins from a whitelist of OpenID providers. This list is not wholly inclusive (though MyOpenID is listed) and they are “open to accept OpenIDs from other providers too - so please contact us via AOL Developer Site with your information.”.

There has been quite a bit of discussion recently about the future of social networks, who is going to own whose data, what will be portable, and what protocols will be involved. For my money I really liked what Scott Gilbertson had to say in his ‘A Slap In The Facebook Follow Up‘…
“The best ideas I’ve seen would involve some combination of OpenID, FOAF and perhaps microformats.”
