You know one of the this week's biggest news was Google and Facebook joining the DataPortability Workgroup. You also know that there are many signs of that OpenID is ready to take off big time. All of this also points out to a prediction that 2008 is indeed going to be the year of "ME". It's all about open data and identity.

BusinessWeek reports as one of the innovation trends the "me-first" trend:
It's All about Me

"Identity" replaces "experience" as the next big concept in design and media thinking. People create their own identities interacting with products and services. The notion of a consumer experience is a more passive way of thinking. It's so 20th century. Identity gets the buzz in '08.
Yes, in 2008, Me and My Identity. That's where myID can come in handy for you. You've heard about Data Portabilities, Attention Trust's, Social Bill of Rights', and Social Graphs. As we've mentioned before, these are the values that myID is exactly pursuing after.

So expect big things from myID. Just in case you haven't tried it yet, you're always welcome to join us and see it for yourself what the true "openness" tastes like.

Hi, everyone! Long time no see. Can you believe it's already 10 days into 2008? Time flies, doesn't it?

Sorry that we haven't been too diligent keeping up with this blog. But hey, 2008 is here and we, here at openmaru, are all ready to take off. :)

2008 will be a very important and exciting year for openmaru. Not only Springnote and myID are already out, but also we're gonna have to have you ready for more!

You'll also see this blog being updated more often. But let's take one step at a time for now.

(Belated) Happy new year!
