11/1    Intelligient writeup of Google's OpenSocial platform by Marc
        Andreesen: http://blog.pmarca.com/2007/10/open-social-a-n.html
        I got a chance to start working with OpenSocial before the public
        release as part of my job at Slide, and it's been a pleasure to work
        with.  If you're looking for an interesting new platform to hack on,
        I'd suggest giving OpenSocial a look.  Incidentally, Slide is hiring.

        Yahoo, Outlook, or any of those sites with features I never use that

On top of that, Microsoft's adherence to basic industry standards for Web technologies as basic as HTML--often called the Web's lingua franca--has been called into question by standards advocates. Together, the proprietary innovation and the purported faults in standards compliance mean that Web pages created to work for IE--widely considered to be the dominant browser--won't work with browsers from Netscape, Opera Software and other providers. Microsoft's proprietary shortcuts came under fire from the Web Standards Project ( 29 WaSP), an advocacy group that formed to goad software companies to adhere closely to World Wide Web Consortium ( 30 W3C) recommendations. WaSP project leader Jeffrey Zeldman urged developers to reconsider before adopting such technologies. The new shortcuts are part of what Microsoft calls Dynamic HTML ( 31 DHTML) behaviors. Dynamic HTML is a marketing term used by Microsoft and other software companies to group various Web technologies and W3C recommendations--including Cascading Style Sheets ( 32 CSS), scripting languages such as 33 JavaScript, and 34 HTML. The way it was before, a DHTML "attribute" behavior, for instance the color red, could spill over from the calendar toolbar it was meant to modify to the calendar page itself. The new method lets Flash more easily and tightly integrate with Web pages, interacting with the page in the same way as regular HTML elements. The advancement of DHTML behaviors, especially with the simplification of Flash authoring, may tempt Web developers. But there is some concern that the widespread adoption of IE's new proprietary technologies will contribute to the degradation of Web standards, in which browsers and Web pages that adhere to commonly accepted industry standards--specifically those recommended by the W3C--are interoperable with each other. We're trying to provide a good experience for the end user and for the author. Microsoft also countered the W3C, as it has in the past, by saying that it innovates by shipping products first and works to define standards that will be established later. In order to drive new technologies into the standards bodies, you have to continue innovating. The 37 DOM, a 38 work in progress at the W3C, lets scripts act independently on individual elements of a Web page. Work on a standard for a "behavior"-type technology is under way at the W3C--and has been for some time. Both Microsoft and Netscape have submitted notes and proposals on the matter: Netscape in its 39 Action Sheets note, and Microsoft in its "DHTML behaviors" submission. The two companies' proposals are in the process of being synthesized in a newly restaffed working group, according to the W3C. An August 1999 40 draft of a specification, "Behavioral Extensions to CSS," is co-authored by Netscape, Microsoft and the French power utility 41 Electricit de France. But Netscape's proposal appears to be diverging from Microsoft's technology in crucial respects. Netscape recently submitted what it calls an "extension" to its "Action Sheet" note, dubbed Extensible Binding Language (XBL). WaSP takes Microsoft to task "In contrast to Microsoft's 'Behaviors,' XBL is compatible with both 42 XML and HTML whereas 'Behaviors' is just compatible with HTML," a Netscape representative said in an email interview. Microsoft has long stated its commitment to following industry standards, including CSS and HTML.
