Service discovery and app interactions on the web
It's not a pretty picture, but we have some solutions
I love the web. The web should allow anyone to access any experience that they need without the need for native install or content walled garden.

Web Intents is a new project designed to solve the problem of web application integration. Inspired by Android's intent system, it allows developers to build features without needing to integrate with every possible 3rd party service. Web Intents lets users choose their preferred service for actions like image editing or sharing. The project has been revised with a simplified API to make integration easier for developers, requiring minimal code. Service registration is done via a new tag, and client initiation is also streamlined. Check out the examples at http://examples.webintents.org/ and share your thoughts as we work with Mozilla to refine this game-changing approach to web development.
I'm excited to announce I'll be speaking at the Berlin GTUG on July 15th, 2010, about building HTML-based applications. The talk will explore the differences between web pages and true applications, with plenty of examples. This will be my first time in Berlin, and although my visit is short, I'm looking forward to it! Slides and photos to follow.
I'm exploring Microsoft's Simple List Extensions for RSS and looking for real-world examples of their implementation. I'm particularly interested in seeing how these extensions can be effectively utilized and would appreciate any insights or examples.
