Andy Baio : Six cool things you can build with OpenID - great list; the biggest hurdle is getting developers to understand what OpenID isn't
wearehugh : Six cool things you can build with OpenID
plasticbag : Simon Willison writes about six cool things you guys out there could go and build right now using OpenID - I'm particularly interested in the SSO problems inside firewalls. This seems like a highly elegant idea. Use software that supports OpenID and then constrain it to your local provider. Tada! You have integrated SSO across multiple internal services...

Simon Willison : Facebook Query Language - Facebook Query Language. The Facebook API now lets you run SQL-like queries. You can’t do joins but you can perform very simple subselects.
cameron : Facebook Query Language - Facebook allows for FQL queries, SQL-style requests to their API data. Very cool.
deusx : Facebook Developers | Facebook Query Language - "FQL is a way to query the same Facebook data you can access through the other API functions, but with a SQL-style interface."

plasticbag : George Takei responds to Tim Hardaway's recent comments about being homophobic... - Now this is where we should be. This is gay satire unashamed to take the piss out of idiots. This isn't apologetic rhetoric, it's full-blown ridicule assuming the audience is on your side already. Awesome.
