talkr.net: proposal for a distributed identity system
Posted by Seb Paquet
Erik Benson proposes to build upon Ludicorp's
flickr services to enable - among other things - much-needed comment authentication, single commenter login, and
blogs or feeds of a user's comments across participating Movable Type sites.
talkr will be a distributed identity system that ties
Movable Type to
Flickr's authentication service via an
MT plugin, and allows people to comment on talkr-enabled blogs through their Flickr account (see, I wasn't joking). This will allow you to maintain your identity in one place, while also enabling a couple much dreamed-about features such as:
- Get notified of new comments on posts that you've commented on
- Watch what your friends are talking about on other sites
- PGP sign your comments without tons of hassle
This is reminiscent of
Drupal's (2+ year-old) distributed authentication system, though I haven't looked into either long enough to make a proper comparison.
