One idea which is bouncing around among people interested in data portability is to only have one user account and freely go from service to service, taking your data with you. No need to signup again and again, importing your data again and again, finding your friends again and again and all that jazz. This vision seems to be somewhat away in the field of social networks (but we are fighting for it) but in the field of virtual worlds we are moving with big steps towards this goal! Today we (that is COM.lounge) launched syntronik.de, the first native Agent Domain implementation for the Open Grid Protocol based on Plone. This might not say much to you but let me explain it. What is the Open Grid Protocol? The Open Grid Protocol is developed by the Architecture Working Group founded by Linden Lab in September 2007. This protocol aims at breaking down the walls between virtual worlds, think of it maybe as the HTTP for the 3D internet. In the Open Grid Protocol there are Agent Domains which hold all the users with their profiles, groups, friends, etc. and there are Region Domains, the actual 3D environments. Given you have the permission the protocol allows you to freely connect from any Agent Domain to any Region Domain thus enabling a truly open and global virtual world. syntronik.de is our proof of concept of such an Agent Domain and it works! You can create an account and you can then use that account to login to any Open Grid enabled region. Right now there are about 30 of these regions listed for the Open Grid Public Beta program. This list is growing. After the initial teleport between grids done by Linden Lab and IBM engineers this is an important steps towards the goal of a global network of virtual worlds. The Open Grid Protocol is very much at it s beginning but we are moving forward quickly. What is it built upon? As the basis for the actual website we used the CMS Plone. The reason is simple: An Agent Domain aims to be implemented on existing user bases such as those in social networks. Using Plone gave us the opportunity to find out how such an Agent Domain component can be developed in a non-invasive way. This means without changing much of the actual data model etc. I will write more about how we solved this in a future article. The other component we used was the pyogp library, an open source implementation of the Open Grid Protocol as it stands today. We are also heavily involved in the pyogp project. The Agent Domain component we developed for syntronik.de will also be part of the pyogp project. Where is the source? The source code will be released soon. The Agent Domain component will be part of pyogp, the Plone related component will be put into the Plone collective. This will then close the gap in the open source environment where the only missing open source piece was an Agent Domain implementation (The Second Life client is released under the GPL, Open Sim which is used as Region Domain is released under a BSD license and the Agent Domain component now is released under an Apache License). How does it look like? Just check it out over at syntronik.de and create an account or watch this screencast: Syntronik.de Screencast from MrTopf on Vimeo What s the future? As said, this is a proof of concept. We will continue to work on this project on all fronts and would like people to join it. There is much to do in the specification of the Open Grid Protocol, in the implementation of it in pyogp and in the implementation of Agent Domains. It would be very cool of course would somebody also start a Region Domain or some sort of client based on pyogp. Maybe we can also influence the social networking scene with this work and vice versa. This at least is my personal goal. Thanks! I would like to thank Linden Lab for starting this effort, the OpenSim team for creating an open source server, David Levine (Zha Ewry) from IBM for creating the initial patch for making OpenSim Open Grid compatible, the pyogp team, especially Locklainn Linden for doing a lot of coding and Lawson English (Saijanai Kuhn) for knowing everything about the protocol. And of course in general everybody helping to make the Open Grid a reality! Technorati-Tags: opengridprotocol, ogp, opengrid, virtualworlds, secondlife, comlounge, syntronik

YOUTUBE has updated its mobile site to include almost its entire library of videos, the social-networking functions and more. Users will be able to upload videos directly from phones to YouTube.com. YouTube also released a free downloadable application that can be installed on phones to access the video site without using a mobile browser. Combined, the announcements greatly improve YouTube s position as a mobile video source. THE NTIA said that converter boxes will be available in stores on February 18th, one year before analog TV is shutdown for good. That day the NTIA will begin processing the 3.7 million converter coupon requests that have already been submitted by consumers. The group also detailed a multi-stage public information campaign meant to guide consumers through the upcoming transition. The final stage, scheduled for the fall, will give users one final wake-up call before analog TV is turned off. It will be titled Life Without Television. THE WGA announced interim deals with LIONSGATE and MARVEL while conducting the third day of informal talks with the AMPTP. Lionsgate will get its writing staff back just in time to begin pre-production on both Weeds and Mad Men. In related news, Guild members have ratified a new contract with CBS News, bringing an end to the standoff between news writers and the network. NIELSEN has launched NORA, a VOD ratings service that utilizes set-top box data. NORA, which is part of Nielsen DigitalPlus, stands for Nielsen On-demand Reporting Comcast is the first customer to subscribe and will begin using the service immediately. LIBERTY MEDIA filed suit against IAC accusing Barry Diller of attempting a corporate coup in his plans to split IAC into several companies. IAC s current dual-class voting structure gives John Malone s Liberty 61.7% of the voting power, even though it only owns 30% of the stock. Barry Diller s plans to restructure the business involves creating several spin-offs with single-tier voting structures, which would erase Librerty s current control. IAC has also filed suit against Librerty seeking the right to dictate its own breakup conditions. PLUS: Vudu has slashed prices for its VOD box in light of Apple TV s recent price drop. Microsoft joined the Dataportabiltiy Work Group. And Rupert Murdoch decided that WSJ.com shouldn t be free after all. Instead, it should raise prices. Get the full story at http://www.Media30.com.

In this podcast, I talked to Scott Kveton, who was kind enough to take 15 minutes out of atttending OpenID DevCamp to record this interview via Skype. We talked about how the impact of data portability and other open technology standards are influencing the way that we think about online communities. Scott is currently on the board of the OpenID Foundation and is the Open Technology lead at MyStrands where he does a lot of their community work. You can learn more about Scott by visiting his blog.

I am open to suggestions for potential interviews. You can also subscribe to the Fast Wonder Community Podcast via iTunes.
