Comment It's Craig Newmark's fault (Score 1) 338

I can't believe no one's mentioned Craigslist. Classified ads have always been the bedrock of newspaper revenue, and Craigslist along with all the online real estate tools have destroyed it. The worst part is the right wing likes to blame it on the "liberal media," believing that in their fantasy world that "objective" - that is, right wing - journalism would be profitable.

Google Adopts, Forks OpenID 1.0 316

An anonymous reader writes "Right on the heels of Microsoft's adoption of the OpenID protocol by announcing their intention to enable OpenID authentication against all Live IDs, Google has announced their intention to join the growing list of OpenID authentication providers. Except it turns out they're using their own version of OpenID that is incompatible with everyone else. It seems that Google will be using their own 'improved' version of OpenID (based upon research and user feedback of the OpenID system) which isn't backwards compatible with OpenID 1.0/2.0, in hopes of improving end-user experience at the cost of protocol compatibility and complexity."
