/usr/bin/links -date="Thursday, November 26"

Daily dose of interesting links around the Web on technology and media.

• Wiki tools are not all the same — All-too-brief article on differences between wikis. Have used MediaWiki extensively, and TWiki back in the day, but haven't had much of a chance to dive into the others.

 

• Most Influential Websites in the World — Wikipedia, the English edition, tops the list. New York Times, Apple, YouTube, and Twitter are all in the top 10. Microsoft's site is not. (Nor is this one... yet.) Via ReadWriteWeb (which comes in at #78).

 

• Interview with Greg Kroah-Hartman on How Software is Built. Greg talks about scaling Kernel development, the Linux Driver Project, and other interesting bits.

 

• Is There a Looming Battle Over OAuth's Successor? — The OAuth protocol is "potentially under pressure from a team of techies representing Microsoft, Google and Yahoo!, who have introduced a competing specification interpreted as being aimed to succeed OAuth, called Web Resource Authorization Protocol, or WRAP.

That's all for today. Enjoy your Thanksgiving! Feel free to suggest links in the comments or ping me with interesting bits on Twitter or Identi.ca.
