Liz Gannes wrote a post on GigaOM<\/a> asking for a service that could give her a dashboard for the social web, in 2010.<\/p>\n

She writes:<\/p>\n

\nI think it\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s about time for a personal dashboard to track and view what happens to what we share online. This would have two primary uses: 1) Privacy: I\u201a\u00c4\u00f4d have a better idea of what\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s publicly known about myself, and
\n2) Analytics: Like any content publisher, I\u201a\u00c4\u00f4d be interested in checking my stats and trends.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well Liz, consider your wish granted. Marc Canter<\/a> suggested the DiSo dashboard<\/a> almost a year ago in January 2009 and going even further back, Chris Saad<\/a> two years ago used the Web File System<\/a> as a visualisation of his vision for what we are advocating at the DataPortability Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But in 2009, we’ve seen something even better emerge, which is being shepherded by the Kantara Initiative<\/a>: the User Managed Access or UMA project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s a protocol being spearheaded by Eve Maler<\/a>, who is also one of the co-inventors of XML<\/a>, one of the web’s core technologies and a co-founder of SAML<\/a> which is one of the major identity technologies around (think OpenID<\/a> but for enterprise).<\/p>\n

It allows you to have a dashboard, where you can manage sites subscribed to your data via URL’s. You can set access rules to those URL’s, like when they expire and what data they can use. It’s like handing web-services a pipe that you can block and throttle the flow of data as you wish, all managed from a central place. Not only does this mean better privacy, but it also satisfies your request for analytics as you can see who is pulling your data.<\/p>\n

So now my wish: let’s spread awareness of great efforts like this. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
