This looks really interesting - though I'm not sure where the registry of providers for each user lives? Paul and I have been working on a dynamic service binding mechanism for widgets using a backend service registry and some selection logic - for example for identifying which SMS sending API to use (e.g. direct through phone device API, or via server-side SMS gateway). However, putting the user in control of selecting providers for services may be a better idea, especially if this takes off. I wonder if it removes the need for oAuth in some cases? > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Steve Lee <[email protected]> > Date: 5 August 2011 11:07 > Subject: [raveincontext-dev] Google and Mozilla working on web intents > To: [email protected] > > > http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/04/google-announces-plans-to-bake-android-like-web-intents-into-chrome/ > > This should be really powerful for widget interactions > > Details: here > > http://webintents.org/ > > Steve > > > > -- > Ross Gardler (@rgardler) > Programme Leader (Open Development) > OpenDirective http://opendirective.com
