• Decentralized authentication: OAuth - An open protocol to allow secure API authorization in a simple and standard method from desktop and web applications.

• Decentrilizd publishing and subscribing: PubSubHubbub Protocol - A simple, open, server-to-server web-hook-based pubsub (publish/subscribe) protocol as an extension to Atom and RSS.
• Syndicating social activities: Activity Streams - A format for syndicating social activities around the web.

• Common APIs: OpenSocial - A set of common APIs for web-based social network applications (developed by Google, MySpace and a number of other social networks).
