Increasing Privacy with Open Source Transparency!


Not sure if you noticed in the news today, but IBM, Novell, and Harvard joined forces to create the Higgins project (think long tail, Web 2.0 -> now Higgins is apparently a Tazmanian mouse with a long tail..)

Anyway, the project will start in stark contrast to Microsoft’s private InfoCard push. Higgins will be open source (and presumably only run on Windows) whereas InfoCard will be open source, run on any platform, and allow for code review, contributions, and customization… hmmm… which do you think will win?

It’s all pretty exciting. You can check out the news over at eWeek or The Boston Globe.
