OStatic

Our sister site WebWorkerDaily is out with a collection of good stories of interest to open sourcers. Check out Mike Gunderloy's round-up of nine Firefox extensions optimized for privacy protection (Ostatic has its own collection of good extensions too). WWD also has a good contrarian opinion about OpenID, the single sign-on initiative that many open source projects favor. Finally, ever heard of Calais? It's a Reuters-owned semantic web service that takes in content and returns semantic metadata - lists of people, companies, events, etc. WWD's article discusses Calais Module for Drupal, and Gnosis, a Calais-enabling Firefox extension.
