Intel and Asus have started a new campaign in which they’re encouraging users to come together and bring their suggestions for an ideal laptop. Users can do this at a newly launched site called WePC, where they can cooperate on the creation of three different machines: a netbook, notebook and a gamer PC.

Mike Hoefflinger, general manager of Intel’s Partner Marketing Group, says this about the idea: “…Intel is working with ASUS to tap into the creative energy of consumers as they share ideas on designing their ideal PC. Intel is committed to encouraging conversations with consumers and giving people a voice in the design of technology they use every day.”

However, what Mike doesn’t mention is that this initiative doesn’t primarily stem from the idea that crowdsourcing can bring a better PC to the world or that crowds are smarter than Intel or Asus’ experts; it comes from the idea of conversational marketing.

There’s nothing negative about this; in fact, I like seeing smart marketing (as opposed to boring marketing, which happens a lot more often) at play. I remember Dell doing something similar, but I haven’t seen or heard of any palpable results from their initiative. Hopefully, this idea from Intel and Asus will result in an awesome laptop which will, in turn, make companies think hard about the true value of crowdsourcing.

Google has launched an API that allows other websites to provide users with the option to login using their Google Account, in turn eliminating the need for a separate sign-up. The move comes as part of Google’s announcement earlier this year that they would become an identity provider for OpenID, along with Yahoo, Microsoft, and a number of other huge technology companies.

The first big site to allow users to sign in with Google accounts is Zoho. Users of the online office suite can now sign-in to create, collaborate, and share documents all without ever creating an account specifically for Zoho (where you can already sign in using your Yahoo account, btw). At the moment, Google is offering trial access to the APIs for enabling support on your own site. You can apply for access here.

In a blog post, Google writes, “Currently users are required to create individual passwords for many websites they visit, but users would prefer to avoid this step so they could visits websites more easily … If users could log into sites without needing another password, it would allow websites to provide a more personalized experience to their users.” Of course, this is the problem OpenID looks to address, and Google wants to help solve it, so long as the account your using to sign in elsewhere is a Google one.

Similar to the other companies that have embraced OpenID support, Google is simply now one of many identity providers. On the other hand, if you want to login to a Google service like Gmail, Docs, or Reader using OpenID, that is currently not supported. Yahoo’s implementation is quite similar to Google’s, and can be found on services like Plaxo in addition to Zoho.

Yes, a lot of people (and I’m sure most of our readers) have a Google account. But there is a bit of hypocrisy in saying you’re moving to support single sign-on, when in reality, you’re competing with the same old companies to be THE single sign-on provider, as opposed to providing single sign-on access on your own properties too.

Update: Plaxo is also allowing users to sign-in to its service using Google Accounts. You can read more about their implementation on John McCrea’s blog.

You may not know it, but you probably have an OpenID. If you have a Yahoo account, you have an OpenID. If you have a Windows Live account, you will soon have an OpenID. And today, if you have a Google e-mail account, you can also start using your Gmail address as an OpenID.

By joining the OpenID movement, Google completes the trifecta and adds all of its Gmail users to the hundreds of millions of Yahoo and Windows Live accounts that can also be used as a single login for any Website that accepts OpenID. While Google is more than happy to become an issuer of OpenIDs, what is not so clear is whether it will accept other OpenIDs for people who want to up for Google services.

You read that correctly - while other startups are biting the dust, previously-deadpooled Judy’s Book is back online and under new ownership. The site was originally launched in July 2005 and was shut down in 2007 after burning through $10.5 million in capital.

New investors David Niu, Geoff Entress, Andy Liu have acquired the assets of the company and are behind the new launch. Coincidentally, all three investors work with the original Judy’s book founders, Andy Sack and Chris DeVore, at Founders Coop.Source:TechCrunch

Login standard OpenID has gotten a huge boost today from Microsoft, as the company has announced that users will soon be able to login to any OpenID site using their Windows Live IDs. With over 400 million Windows Live accounts (many of which see frequent use on the Live’s Mail and Messenger services), the announcement is a massive win for OpenID. And Microsoft isn’t just supporting OpenID - the announcement goes as far as to call it the de facto login standard.

The news parallels Yahoo’s announcement in January that users would be able to use their Yahoo IDs on any OpenID site - a move that instantly tripled the protocol’s potential user base. But it also comes with the same caveat that we had with the Yahoo news: while Windows Live accounts will work for logging into other sites, it’s unclear if the service will become a “relying party” that would allow users to login with third party OpenIDs.

Bill Gates initially pledged support for OpenID in early 2007, but the company has been slow to actually implement it (unfortunately this has been a trend in the industry). For now Live’s role as an OpenID provider is in testing, with widespread support planned for “sometime in 2009″. If you’d like to try it out now, check out the instructions on the blog post here.

OpenID is an excellent solution for establishing a single identity for all your online accounts, but many people haven’t even tried it yet. For some, the concept of using a URL address for a login ID instead of the traditional email address is still completely foreign.

However, Email to ID could be what the doctor ordered and what these creatures of habits need. It could also be what OpenID needs in order to expedite wide-spread acceptance as the single sign on identity standard. You can now link your email address (or several of them) to your OpenID and then use that email address (any of them) to log into any online service that supports it! The beauty rests in the simplicity of it all. Best of all, it’s all free and easy to do.

First, a little background information on this process

Email to ID is based on the EAUT (Email Address to URL Translation) protocol that allows standard email addresses to be transformed into URLs for services like OpenID. As far as concerns regarding security and who controls everything, EAUT was designed to work in a distributed fashion, so that there isn’t a single authority in charge of everything. Each email service controls how email addresses at their domain are resolved into URLs. 

Even though EAUT is designed to be decentralized, it will take time for email providers to add support. In these cases, a fallback service can be used which can translate ANY email address to a URL. Relying parties can use any fallback service they wish, but Email to ID is recommended.  The need for a fallback service will decrease as more email providers support EAUT natively. 

Why a fallback service like Email to ID?

Emailtoid was designed as a technology prototype to act as a temporary solution to a usability problem in OpenID. Email to ID always defers to the email providers first and only falls back to the local resolution service if the email provider does not support email-to-OpenID resolution. 

What’s important for Email to ID’s long-term Success?

There are a couple of things that need to happen in order for Email to ID to become a normal part of our online experience. First, OpenID needs to formally and officially support the EAUT protocol . Second, all email providers need to get on board and support OpenID and EAUT. It’s not only good for their members but for them as well so it’s really a no-brainer. The same is true for all online services and their stance regarding OpenID support - the more services that embrace OpenID, the better for us all.

How to do it

Here’s how easy it is to connect your email address with your OpenID account. It literally takes a couple of minutes. When completed we will show you how to use it with a site that supports EAUT such as Magnolia.

1. First, you’ll need an OpenID account. You might already have one because many services like AIM and LiveJournal include an OpenID for members. You can check here. If you don’t already own one then just create one from any of the official OpenID providers on that page. Popular providers include ClaimID, myOpenID, myVidoop, myID.net and VeriSign’s Personal Identity Provider. 

2. Go to Email to ID and add your OpenID account along with the email address you want to associate with it. You can add multiple addresses if you want. You’ll receive an email with an access key you can enter to complete the connection or you can simply click the link in the email. Either way works fine.

That’s it, really. It’s that easy. Enter the email address and OpenID account and they’ll be connected. You can just as easily disconnect them or add another email address or change the OpenID provider should you want to do so. It’s very flexible and puts you in control.

How to use your new email to ID account on a service

Now that you’ve linked your email address with your OpenID account, you can use your familiar email address on any site that supports it. In this example, we’ll use the popular social bookmarking service, Magnolia.

1. Go to the Magnolia sign in page and enter your email address in the OpenID box instead of the usual OpenID URL. 

2. You’ll be redirected to a confirmation page on your OpenID provider’s site. Click continue to complete the transaction. 

3. That’s it. You’re done. No need to enter tedious profile information or even a password. Just create the screen name you want and the email address and you’re done with the sign-up process in a fraction of the time that it usually takes. Email to ID and OpenID handles all of the dirty work for you.

Final thoughts

You’ve just gotten a glimpse of what could very well be the future of online registration thanks to the OpenID single sign on identity system along with the Email to ID URL translation based on the EAUT protocol. As mentioned earlier, in order for this much improved process to become a common standard and available everywhere online more services need to support OpenID and EAUT. The good news is that increasing new services are in fact supporting OpenID. To keep up with all of the new additions to this list go to the OpenID Directory or subscribe to its RSS feed which updates constantly.

OpenID support continues to spread throughout the Web ecosystem and new names are added to the list of sites that support OpenID all the time. Since the release of OpenID 2.0, which includes better security features, OpenID has gained major traction as the single sign-on standard. Its biggest benefit being tremendous reduction in the number of login names and passwords that you have to manage. In addition, great time savings when registering at new sites.

Ultimately, all you will ever need is your single OpenID URL or an email address linked to it.  Here’s where you can get your own OpenID and all of the sites that support it:

Where Do you Get your own OpenID?

If you have an account at any of the following sites then you might already own an OpenID that you can use anywhere else on the Web that supports it. The format of your OpenID URL will be slightly different from site to site so pick one that’s easiest to remember.

- AOL - openid.aol.com/screenname

- Blogger - blogname.blogspot.com

- Flickr - www.flickr.com/photos/username

- LiveDoor profile.livedoor.com/username

- LiveJournal - username.livejournal.com

- Orange (France Telecom) - http://openid.orange.fr

- SmugMug - username.smugmug.com

- Technorati technorati.com/people/technorati/username

- Vox - member.vox.com

- Yahoo - http://openid.yahoo.com (Every Yahoo ID is now an OpenID 2.0 ID)

- Wikitravel provides an identifier to each registered user

- WordPress.com - username.wordpress.com

Who are OpenID Identity Providers?

If you don’t have an OpenID yet, you can create a free one at any of these 80 and counting OpenID Identity Providers. Keep in mind that these providers all offer different features when it comes to OpenID. Here’s an excellent Guide for OpenID Identity Providers that compares their diverse feature sets.

Below are just some of the most popular OpenID Identity providers:

- ClaimID - One of the most popular OpenID providers

- myOpenID Another popular provider. Hosted OpenID server by JanRain.

- VeriSign’s Personal Identity Provider - Free OpenID Provider with support for multi-factor authentication.

- myID.net - Free OpenID Provider with support for groups and Korean language.

- myVidoop - Free OpenID Provider that eliminates passwords with security features, customization, and browser integration.

- MyLID - Unique because it’s the only identity aggregator as it supports not only OpenID but also Yadis. Thus, your single sign-on such as mylid.net/Paisano would work on any site that supported any of those three identity services. You can also host it yourself by downloading the code here.

Want to Run Your Own OpenID Identity Server?

For you hardcore geeks there’s always the option to host you own OpenID identity Server. Delegation is the simplest way to get up and running with OpenID because it requires nothing more than an OpenID Provider and some basic HTML. OpenID for Developers provides excellent information. You can find additional valuable information at: Plaxo OpenID Recipe and Sam Ruby’s Intertwingly

Who supports OpenID anyway?

The list of sites that support OpenID continues to grow as increasing numbers accept the fact that it’s not going away any time soon and realize that there’s a great demand for it. The good news is that even startups are coming out of the gate supporting OpenID (Blippr, Rejaw, etc.) So, how do you know if a site supports OpenID or not? Just look for the OpenID logo on any sign-up or login page. It’ll always be clearly visible and sometimes even labeled with OpenID. Here’s a sample login screen.

The other thing to check is the MyOpenID OpenID directory that the folks at MyOpenID maintain. There’s also a handy RSS feed that you can subscribe to in Google reader or whatever RSS reader you prefer that’ll let you know whenever a new site has been added to the directory. If you know of a site that is not listed in the OpenID directory then simply send the site’s URL to MyOpenID’s email address for the directory.

Here’s another OpenID directory that also tracks all of the sites that proclaim to support OpenID. This directory is a little different because it allows visitors to vote for their favorite OpenID sites so it’s like digg in that respect. Here are the top voted OpenID Providers.

Here are just some of the sites that support OpenID with many more added all the time:

- Skitch.com - A Web service that gives you 1-click uploading of images for fast image sharing.

- PBWiki - Create a free wiki using your OpenID. It’s as easy as making a peanut butter sandwich.

- LiveJournal - One of the first blogging platforms.

- Drupal - The official website of Drupal, an open source content management platform.

- Mixx - The well-known news site.

- 37Signals - Simple software to help you get organized. Basecamp, Highrise, and Backpack are all OpenID enabled.

- Foodio54 - Has a database of over half a million restaurants with reviews.

- ToodLedo - An easy to use Web-based to-do list.

- WetPaint - A popular wiki host.

- Grou.ps- Allows you to create sharing platforms for your social groups

- Jyte - Allows you to make claims about yourself and your friends, give and receive cred and manage your contacts and groups.

Conclusion

OpenID continues to gain support and acceptance. Even the big boys like Microsoft, Google, Yahoo and AOL have all made the decision to embrace and support it. One of the strongest signs of this acceptance occurred when Microsoft added OpenID support to their own Identity platform called CardSpace. Since OpenID appears to be headed towards becoming the single sign-on standard then it might make sense to give it a look to see what it’s all about.

Editor’s Note: This post is part of an ongoing series at Mashable - The Startup Review, Sponsored by Sun Microsystems Startup Essentials. If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here.

STARTUP DETAILS:

Company Name: CoNotes

20 word description: CoNotes is the place to find startup jobs.

CEO’s Pitch: CoNotes aims to solve two problems:

1) People have a tough time finding cool startups that are hiring

2) Startups have a tough time finding the right people

To solve these two problems, CoNotes centralizes job openings in startups in one location, and at the same time provides startups exposure by distributing those job openings to appropriate partner organizations. Some of CoNotes’ other unique features include a company recommendation engine and integration with users’ LinkedIn networks.

Mashable’s Take: CoNotes is designed as a marketplace of sorts, matching startups with job seekers so each party can find their perfect match. The actual format of CoNotes, however, is much more of a directory of startups, similar to Startup Search but with a larger focus on startups. CoNotes moves beyond Web-based companies and features content on companies that don’t even have current job openings.

For each company that has a profile on the site, there is also a section for comments, questions, and related news. The comments and questions are interactive, meaning users can peruse and contribute towards these sections, while the news section appears to be a mini feed of recent activity relevant to that company’s overall industry. The job search itself, however, is rather basic and doesn’t give in-depth search results or an easy-to-manage process for filtering.

As a registered CoNotes member, you can add descriptive tags to a company profile, add a company to your favorites, and take notes. If you are a job seeker using CoNotes, you can also take advantage of the service’s recommendation engine, which offers three companies you may be interested in, based on your profile information. The more complete your profile information, the more CoNotes has to work with. As the profile data is still limited to things like age, gender, years of work experience and your website, it seems that CoNotes can only do so much towards recommending potentially interesting companies. The service offers only three results at a time with no explanation as to why each company may be of interest to the user, which leaves something to be desired for CoNotes’ recommendation features.

There are other things that CoNotes does well, however, such as linking you and companies’ LinkedIn data to CoNotes’ accounts. If you see a company you’re interested in, you can see how many employees it has with LinkedIn profiles, and subsequently reach out to them or learn more information about the company through LinkedIn’s dedicated professional network. This particular feature offers a familiar course of action for a job seeker and aids CoNotes in its ability to extend resources through its network without having to establish an entirely new set of data or wait for users to populate its site directly.

Flixwagon has launched an application for streaming live video from iPhone, a product they first demoed last month. At the moment, the application only works on jailbroken original model iPhones (running firmware 1.1.4), but the company says it is currently working on a version for the iPhone 3G.

The app can be installed by navigating to m.flixwagon.com/iphone on your device, or by following the instructions detailed here. Most of Flixwagon’s features are included in the application - you can assign each video stream its own privacy settings, edit the meta data, and set the video resolution. For now, Flixwagon recommends streaming via WiFi. Here’s a brief demo of how the application works:

Flixwagon competitor Qik also demoed their own streaming video application for iPhone last month, but it would appear that Flixwagon has beaten them to the punch in getting theirs out the door. Qik’s product is expected to launch soon.

Adding support for iPhones and their early adopter customer base is obviously hugely important for both Flixwagon and Qik to make their technology accessible to more people. Prior to today’s launch, Flixwagon only offered support for Nokia Series 60 devices. The first company to offer a version for the iPhone 3G could be the real winner though, given the device’s lower cost and access to 3G networks.

Some screenshots of the Flixwagon iPhone app are included after the jump.

There are a lot of websites that require a username and password. Everyone I talk to hates that fact and typically uses the same username and password for each site. Granted security experts will complain loudly about this, but people do not want to complicate their experiences. Who really wants to remember that they have a different username on several sites and every site has a different password? The few people I know that try to have different passwords tend to write them down in a notebook. Obviously, this is not that secure either, but what other choices do we have?

Recently, MySpace announced that they were joining OpenID as a provider. At first glance, most people might read this and say “that’s nice,” and move on to the next story. However, for mainstream Internet users this is fairly important. The multiple usernames and passwords that people have can sometimes be replaced by a single ID using OpenID.

The idea is that you use one of your accounts as your Internet ID. Then other sites that require a logon will redirect you to your OpenID provider to login before allowing you to start your session. This sounds great, right? And you may already have an OpenID available or becoming available in the case of MySpace. The list of OpenID providers includes:

-AOL

-Blogger

-Flickr

-LiveJournal

-Technorati

-Yahoo

-WordPress

When MySpace is added to this list the number of potential users will be much larger. At some point, Google and Microsoft will probably announce support for Google Accounts and MSN accounts as OpenID providers in order to ensure they are not left behind. If they do announce support for these, most US Internet users will have an OpenID account available to them.

What if you already have accounts at various sites that allow OpenID? Well, in most cases you can just attach your OpenID to your existing user account and use it to logon during future visits. There are also sharing options, like sharing photos in Flickr or sharing RSS items from Google Reader. Maybe a site supports OpenID, but some sites want to show what I am sharing from services like Flickr and Reader. How can we control this? There is another option that is available that many aggregation and integration sites are using called OAuth. OAuth describes itself as an open protocol to allow secure API authentication in a simple and standard method from desktop and Web applications.

As you can see from this short description, this is not meant to be used by mainstream Internet users directly. To describe this in regular terms, OAuth does basically the same thing as OpenID, but adds more security around the process. The user process is basically the same as OpenID, a user gets redirected to a site to login and sent back to the page they were initially using. However, the purpose is slightly different. OAuth is trying to have better and more secure integration across various sites. If you use one site to print photos and Flickr to share photos, you need some way to securely share the information.

OAuth is sensitive to users marking things private on various sites, and has specified ways to ensure access is approved and is only temporary. A good developer overview of this is available at the Beginner’s Guide to OAuth Part II. Why is all of this important? This is all important because people are sharing information more than ever before.

There are aggregation sites like FriendFeed that import your public shares from various sites for everyone to view. Websites that allow sharing know that you want to allow access to some of this information to other applications as well. In order to do this in a secure and standard manner, something like OAuth is necessary. What would happen if OAuth was not supported? In the photo sharing example, you would need to provide your Flickr username and password to your photo printing site. Without the standard, there would also be less support for this type of thing because each service integration would require a significant amount of work.

Obviously, both OpenID and OAuth are needed for a better user experience. OpenID solves the problem of having far too many usernames and passwords to remember. OAuth solves the problem of how to share information between sites without giving your password from one site to another. Together the technologies may make things simpler for the user. Thankfully, users do not need to do anything to take advantage of these technologies. The one thing users can do is email the support team of each of your favorite sites and make sure they support OpenID and OAuth.

The so-called social Web just became legitimately open, as MySpace has launched the two first implementations of its Data Availability initiative on Flixster and Eventful. Simultaneously, the company is announcing that it will support OpenID, allowing its users to sign into any OpenID-enabled website using their MySpace credentials. The move comes one day before Facebook’s developer conference kicks off, where the rival social network is widely expected to announce the first implementations of its own data portability initiative: Facebook Connect.

The implementations of Data Availability on Flixster and Eventful work much as you might expect. On Flixster, users can register using their MySpace credentials, at which point they can import their profile data and connect with any of their friends who already have accounts on Flixster. On Eventful, users can not only import their profile data, but also receive alerts for events coming to their area, based on the artists that the user has friended on MySpace. Hence, if you’re friends with Augustana on MySpace and they are having a concert in your town, you’ll automatically be alerted to it.

All of this information is synced across the Data Availability supporting sites and MySpace. So, if you update your profile, edit your biography, or remove an artist from your friend’s list on MySpace, this will immediately be reflected on Flixster and Eventful. Certain more sensitive data like religion, sexual orientation, and ethnicity are only cahceable for 24 hours by Data Availability partners, while core profile data like age, location, and profile photo can be stored on the third-party site, though still synced with MySpace.

Asked about the distinction between data that is cached and that which is stored, Jim Benedetto, SVP of Technology at MySpace told me: “It’s very technically challenging to rely on MySpace’s server [for accessing all of the data]. [As a user] if I don’t want all information to be available to Flixster, I can revoke access and cut it off. But a core piece of information such as my age, email, first and last name that is key to the initial registration, Flixster can maintain control over so people can continue to login to Flixster with it.”

As for the OpenID initiative, much like other Web giants including Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo that have announced support for the movement, MySpace is only acting as an identity provider, meaning that while you can use your MySpace credentials to sign into other Web sites, you cannot yet use your credentials from another OpenID provider to sign into MySpace. Nonetheless, announcing support for OpenID is another small victory for MySpace over Facebook, and keeps the pressure on the latter to legitimately open up.

MySpace first announced Data Availability in May, with launch partners Yahoo, eBay, Twitter, and Photobucket. Asked about the status of these higher profile rollouts, Benedetto told me that “All of them are currently working on their implementations. Flixster and Eventful are just smaller companies that were able to move very quickly using our APIs to get them live.”

As for Facebook, they announced Connect with Digg signed on to support the initiative one day after MySpace kicked off Data Availability back in May. Google also has its own hat in the ring in the battle to become your universal profile with its Google Friend Connect offering.
