Telegraph, Resident Digital and OpenID

January 21, 2008 · Posted in Telegraph · Comment 

For the last few months I’ve been working at the Telegraph on a variety of different things. One of them was a project to help them figure out what to do about registration and single sign-on. We recommended that they become an OpenID provider. This is the first of a whole series of innovative things that are coming. Read more about it on Shane’s blog and on Resident Digital.

A dream come true

Yesterday, Shane Richmond came bounding up to me and said: ‘I know you have three blogs already, but how would you like another one?’. ‘What crazy new project is he planning now, I thought. 56 books in a year not good enough for you?‘ But this was an offer I simply couldn’t refuse. The assignment? To write a blog for the Telegraph on what it’s like to be a supporter of the world’s ‘richest club’, Queens Park Rangers. The Rs. The Super Hoops. QPR.

This metric is based on the combined (assumed) wealth of the three investors who have recently acquired control of the club, Flavio Briatore, Bernie Ecclestone and Lakshmi Mittal, not on the state of the balance sheet, which is still threadbare according to some.

The name of the blog is ‘Considerably richer than you’ as suggested by Shane. I’ll be blogging about why we choose that in due course.

Anyway, for the vanishingly small number of people who read my blog and are also interested in QPR, you can check it out here.
