flensed :: flXHR Project
Rocking library that allows for crossdomain XHR on the browser. Does this via flash. This will definitely help with getting legacy browsers to do crossdomain XHR. (FF3.1 nad IE8 should have it built in). Only downside is the flash itself, looks promising nonetheless.

Federated login simplified – RPX: Instant OpenID and Data Portability
RPX serves as a proxy and simplifies the usual federated login handshake. Whats also interesting is the large amount of 3rd parties it supports (Google, MySpace, OpenID, Facebook etc). Beside that it provides hooks for the UI interaction and access to the logged in users profile information.

Mozilla launches LizardFeeder

Mozilla launches LizardFeeder
“The LizardFeeder is a feed aggregator, whose source code is built atop Sam Ruby’s Planet Venus. ” It doesn’t seem to use venus to actually render the aggregated feeds but rather has a really cool Ajax front end. It allows you to view data from the past and filter down the sources that you aggregate from – all via the javascript UI. Nicely designed as well. Source code is available at https://svn.mozilla.org/projects/lizardfeeder/trunk/. Definitely something to look at to improve malaysianheartbeat.com. (via l.m.orchard – http://decafbad.com/blog/2009/01/05/enter-the-lizardfeeder)
