This video was recorded during the Web 2.0 Expo in Berlin from 5-8 Nov 2007. David Recordon from Six Apart (co-inventor of OpenId and OAuth) talks about his vision of Open Platforms, the problems we have right now and possible solutions.

Above is the flash file as the video is rather big as Quicktime, you can download the Quicktime version here though (over 400 MB!). I might reencode it in smaller versions later if people need it.

First Look is a series I just started with this video and consists of screencasts I do of new sites where I eventually get some invite. I want to test them without checking them out before so I can spot bugs or usability problems. This also migth give a chance to the developers to see a first time user (geek though) navigating their site. I am aware that much of this what I see is subject to change of course.

So this first episode is about mixxt.de, a new social networking platform similar to Ning. It allows you to create your own social network in 3 minutes (I did not take the time though).

So here is the video. It was done somewhat early in the morning so my english is not fully there yet

I also want to thank Philipp Ellenbeck of mixxt who did a great job on providing instant support to my questions and problems. Many of my initial problems are solved by now.
