Hey guys - feel free to share your thoughts here!

Lots of good logos; good job. Have to say I'm a big fan of soiduflksd.That would be my pick.

I went for jacobrendell. I hope that one wins!

I voted for Blazes and Uri Ar. They will work best as favicon.

Got to keep it simple.

Yeah, blazes is pretty good.

Can we vote more than once?

I will refrain from giving my opinion

You can vote for more than one logo - but only click the submit button once

D'oh! I missed my chance then... nevermind

Heya Michael

How are you Mike

dek likes! So pretty

LOL! I didn't realise that

Haha

lol nice

I twittered this page

Ouch

I retweeted you Chris

mike is having a bad dog day

Eh?

haha no way man - after you mentioned my name on twitter I got 40 new followers - i'm internet famous!

*Does a dance*

mornin'

D'oh!! Beat me

Wow that was quick as

Heya DPN

what the

hey Chris.

different or difference

by the way, embedded tangler ftw!

Heya dpn!

cool huh

I think we need more of these

and, can i see who else is in the room?

doesnt work in safari

Yeah we are just wondering about that

and hitting "return" doesnt submit

Hey everyone

dmosites - you can if you click through to the forum (click on Data Portability)

i like them mike

hmm asian bakery downstairs just opened for the first time. freebies!

ah gotcha, thanks

i like ics2626 but i think i'm in the minority

i like ics2626 also

Yeah, I don't quite like that one

i voted for a few

What do you like about it

i like the actual design...looks cool

mostly the form, the colours and arrangement could use tweaking

i dont know how well it would translate to 16x16

which was a key criteria for the comp

Hi everyone...mail verification FTL!!

True

Heya Adora - Lisa?

yeah, heya again!

oh, like the TechCrunch logo is clever, right

does tangler do openid?

i've had a login for a bit - so may have missed the meme

i could take a swing at downsizing that, i think it could work

>_<

you lie

am i about to get rickrolled by the most well known tech writer? :|

screenshot or you're lyin

haha

icka posted a teaser of the techcrunch set...yesterday?

how many votes have been recorded already?

except uhh...without the techcrunch shirt  =]

Many Many votes

So my question to you, Chris

http://www.flickr.com/photos/icka/2417454729/

Adora is even hotter in person

adonyao ics2626 are my votes. Rest look like done by corporate identity people - nice looking but too busy for the most part. Simple is key here, low rez.

Do you think the DP logo should/will supercede the logos of the individual tech specs e.g. oauth/openid

hell no

devolved into sexy pix discussion already, lol.

I sure hope not

dmosites I think they each have their own purpose

I think they would dm... but that's also an interesting political question/result.

DATA PORTABILITY > SEXY PICS, KTHX

haha

If only OpenID was that hawt. More like ugly cousin these days.

dp + sexy pics

surefire winner

Actually Adora is going to help send out DP Branded shirts for us right?

I was hoping to be able to announce the winner in next month's startup schwag bag, but it looks like the timing won't work

unless you guys want to make the rabid data portability fans wait a month

Yeah wont be able to wait until then for the announcement - but you can have the logo for the very next release

chris, I was actually about to msg you on facebook to talk about it when I saw your twitter msg

Any usable code to go with the logo?

@Adora skype is better for me - or email

chris.saad or me@chrissaad.com

daveevans our job is not code - our job is developing the best practices

there are a number of projects that are working on writing the code - like "practical portability" and Diso

we can also create pointers to the code work that others are doing

reference platform is important IMHO but I understand.

yeah people will build a reference platform - they have started already

practicalportability.org for example

chris - noted, I'll shoot off an email here in a bit

but it is not a planned deliverable for the DP project

I like what Trent and others have done with the update page, very nice for those of us re-visiting the topic.

The update page?

this live forum is cool- is there a way to see how many people are 'on'?

http://dataportability.onconfluence.com/display/dpmain/The+DataPortability+Project+March+2008+Report

Oh right - yeah we are doing monthly reports - always very important

click subscribers to see who's on

yeah, where does it say subscribers?

does not seem to do that on the embedded chat - maybe on the full UI

I actually think this forum / chat hybrid thing is kindof obnoxious

upper left above the orange topic button.

First I hear of Tangler

just click through to the full forum and you can see it

Aww why Adora

hrm

http://www.tangler.com/forum/dataportability/topic/40175

@daveeevans always looking for feedback on the monthly reports- would love to quote you in our April edition about how you find them useful?

forums are designed for one purpose, real time communication is another

Robin you are out of the loop - Tangler has been around for aages

kind of obnoxious to browse chat history, isn't it?

seems like Tangler is an implementation of the worst aspects of each, imo

hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes saying that

lol

I've been out of the loop ever since I was born though

only on tangler

hahhahaha

Sure. Chris, I just made the connection with Particls and you, Trent showed me that a while back. It's all coming together now.

I dream about those damn puppets now.

@daveevans cool

how to tweet on a comment/photo here?

only $20...sounds like a bargain

404 on that arrington

@daveevans use the share link to link people to this chat

Stupid question maybe, but is there a point? I mean, we supposed to discuss possible logos?

but you can't link to a specific message in the chat i think

@robinwauters it's just an experiment at the moment

I think we're just hanging out, Robin

Hanging in the hood with the peeps

Or lurking.

we're having a very serious discussion about puppets in here

heya topherchris!!

so who thinks we should put one of these on the DP wiki?

@adora I roll with Twitter

Chris I'll contact you some other time for a datadump, eager to participate, have worked with several companies on persistent portable profiles and credentials.

yozers.

Does anybody actually like any of these logos a lot?

@chrissaad this actually looks a bit like that JS-kit stuff that was presented in Amsterdam

Usability issue #1 : I can't read what's been said above because the window keeps jumping me to the bottom.

I forget which one I voted for now, to be honest

JS kit does not have real-time forum

oh is that what this is?

Web2.0 logo cliche-fest.  But hey, whatever.

Twitter is a real-time forum

topherchris, I don't think any of them are spot on.  #3 is closest, but that scrawly font has just got to go

Twitter is real-time status updates

and there is no channels or topics or multi-media

twitter is omni-directional communication

Agreed on the font.  I liked #4 the best personally for some reason.

I'm all for being as simple as the orange RSS logo. Most logos are too busy.

I think they are very different - we can't have this type of conversation on twitter

I tweeted hostage puppets already.

I'd prefer the conversation be on irc, myself

could use this for Plugg next time

seconded

honestly, i think that these types of real-time discussions need to be initiated, and don't fit so well on the context of a web page

@chris, exactly what you did, twitter the page and people come to chat about it

@dmosites it would in certain cases, like events, earning calls, etc

right, agreed

I like that it's so easy to transition to a topic-based discussion. You go to a web page, and instantly chat...

I can't seem to last in any irc channel without making too many smart-ass comments before getting booted.  But I digress.  Logos peoples!

but the technology seems a lil lacking

lol topherchris.

michael:  plz, for the love of god, no

@michael - that may be interesting, but i'm not sure it would add real value

@michael arrington please, the comments are bad enough already

like boinboing comments, but real-time flamewars.

/me bats her eyelashes innocently

I already am, deadline hell

haha

lol

I'll probably never get another opportunity to say this, so here goes:  A site I helped design was featured on TechCrunch as being one of the fucking worst Michael had ever seen.  It was hilarious.

@robinwalters:  deadline hell?  so what's got you captivated here?

@topherchris congratulations

@adora I'm in deadline hell because stuff like this captivates me more

topherchris, you're shitting me!  Link!

Yeah, it was great.

Ok, I'll tell.  But remember, it wasn't my damn idea.  I was just a paid freelancer.

/me starts to regret accepting topherchris' offer to redesign one of her sites  ^_^

does this ring a bell?  SPRINT SUCKS AND SO DOES THEIR NEW WEBSITE

LOL!

ha ha aodra

arrington may have knocked your design, but he gave me the outright death knell

I didn't do the design.  just php backend.

so technically, I guess he didn't nail my ass

I see that nobody is really talking about the logos but either way I like ics2626 logo

 

There is a support group e-list for people who have been slammed on TC, don't know the address though.

still, when you're involved in a project, a razz like that still burns

@sarahcarr agreed

@daveevans it's called Valleywag

@daveevans a support group?

oh fuck yeah.

Streamy's far from dead, Michael

did someone setup a laptop/table at adtech today and invite people to vote?

I voted for logo number 3 btw, and still think it's the best

lol

yes, people who get bad reviews on TC, perhaps an urban legend but I don't mind propagating it.

lol @ slamming, don't hold back.

@danielabarbosa that would have been smart
