If you have a Drupal installation, such as Pressflow, that does not initialize sessions for anonymous users, you may have found that the OpenID module does not work correctly. There is an easy way to fix this without resorting to a core patch.

While enjoying DrupalCon I attended the OpenID, Drupal, and the Open Web presentation by James Walker. It was a nice presentation that briefly went over the technologies that are moving us closer to a distributed social network. While I think it is still a while off before we are able to seemlessly move from site to site with one identity, with full control over our content, sharing with those we choose, and effortlessly enjoying the shares of our friends and family, I think we can help to lay the foundation for the distributed social web.

With all of the recent hoopla we have been stirring up on our blog and in the Drupal community about the Drupal Calais modules, it is easy to lose track of all the other fantastic things we have been doing here at Phase2. Here is a quick rundown of some of our latest projects.

The next stage of the Internet has been lurking around the corner for a long time and referred to as the “semantic web”. The concepts behind the semantic web are purported to have been in Tim Berners-Lee’s original intention for the Internet over 15 years ago. I suspect that means they were academically interesting, but technically impractical at the time. While I am certainly not qualified to predict exactly when this vision of the semantic web will be fulfilled as a technical reality, I can tell you about it’s enormous potential.
