Identity and Authentication

Existing Identity - we prefer if you login using OpenID or Facebook Connect. You can create your own identity, but be aware that we don’t currently encrypt your credentials, so don’t use the password from your bank account.

Working with Things Stored Somewhere Else

Visitor – embed your Flickr photos, YouTube videos, etc as much as you like. The more the merrier.

Watch For Updates – This product watches the third party for changes, and updates its own view of the remote thing to match.

Chatty – Our site wide activity stream is forwarded to our Facebook Group. You can subscribe to email notifications from our discussion groups.

No Access – private discussion groups can only be accessed through this product.

Other Products Can Write – You can use the XML-RPC endpoint to blog from third party products, e.g. Flickr.

Backing Up

Some Download - a combination of your Author feed and Personal Activity feed should give you access to most of what you’ve contributed, but I haven’t tested that fully.

Public Data

Provider Only – you can do what you like with your own contributions. For anybody else’s work, please ask their permission.

Closing an Account

Accounts Deleted Upon Request – This product has the ability to remove a person’s account and all relevant data, and will do so when requested by the person or third party with appropriate legal standing.
