Here's the url for #1 above... http://www.ucl.ac.uk/is/diary/sync/sy... SncyML for my Palm Centro

I am unbelievably happy!

1. I found SyncML for my Palm Centro, even though soocial said SyncML wasn't supported. That was here:

2. I installed it OTA in 2 minutes.

3. I went to the manual Soocial install tip here: http://getsatisfaction.com/soocial/to...

4. I added that, and hit "Start Sync" on my phone. And it WORKED!

If soocial says your phone isn't supported, there is still hope!!! Google "syncml" and your phone os or phone name. Find syncml OTA install instructions for your phone. And then use the Manual Soocial install to finish the job!

Okay now... no breaking, okay?!! :-)

If I can text message my posts directly to Pownce, I will pack up my bags at Twitter and move into Pownce permanently.

Sorry denied,

We don't have that ready yet...

Any news on a windows mobile client ??? would love for my HTC phone to work :/

Feel free to add this as a suggested preview on the Pownce community wiki at http://pownce.pbwiki.com !

Haven't heard anything about this in over 6 months now, is there any way we can push this feature forward? Perhaps get some feedback off users to find out how many would really find it useful?

Support for Gravatar integration to Twitter has been growing recently, I think the same kind of people would appreciate its inclusion in Pownce.

I need this too !!

I'm all for SMS with Pownce, I would definitely use it much more often.

i just wanted to show my support for this topic.

I found an article which discusses OpenID, OAuth, the differences between the two, and how they can compliment each other. I thought it might be of interest to those following this thread. Here's an excerpt:

Obviously, both OpenID and OAuth are needed for a better user experience. OpenID solves the problem of having far too many usernames and passwords to remember. OAuth solves the problem of how to share information between sites without giving your password from one site to another. Together the technologies may make things simpler for the user.

At this time, there are at least 31 people petitioning for OpenID support at Pownce. I think that most of us are more interested in using OpenID to login to our Pownce accounts, rather than using our Pownce URLs as OpenIDs.

!mmalone:

Authentication and Authorization are two discrete activities as you know. There's nothing barres you to use existing usernames (and let them be changed by user anyitme) while using OpenID for authorization.

OpenID and OAuth doesn't expose a conflict of interest in anyway...
While using OpenID for authorizing access to users for site access, it's perfectly possible to use OAuth for authorizing "on-behalf access" to API.

OAuth establishes a trust channel between the API provider and consumer. There's no point to involve "Identity Provider" after establishment of API trust binding. And there's no requirement in OAuth for API provider being also the Identity Provider... In contrast, OpenID access "requires" contacting OP whenever user claims an ID. So responsibilities are well defined in here.

API Provider creates the trust binding to a consumer with OAuth for one time than let's access by authenticating requests every time without user interaction. Whenever user decides to break the coupling, an interface of API provider helps the user to provision his/her request.

Real user access to site via OpenID is completely different though...
"Relying Party" (API provider web app in the former scenario) MUST request the proof of the ownership for claimed Identity everytime. So OP should be involved in every authorization action.

Technically OpenID and OAuth can have overlapping specifications but their use cases are completely different. No end-user should care about OAuth and access granting process shouldn't be more complex than just a confirmation screen. On the other hand, in OpenID access case, user should be aware of his/her "Identifier" URI to claim an identity.

It's nice to hear Pownce team are involved in the communities of both OpenID and OAuth. I'm sure this will foster a near-perfect implementation of both standarts in Pownce, over the time.

...But I think, -with current standards- deployment of these two technologies are not mutually exclusive in anyway.

It's a very complicated situation, and we're going to do the best we can! Thank you, Lucia – Lucia, on July 18, 2008 16:44
