Run for Your Life!

I wish that one of the Laws of Simplicity were to exercise more instead of less. But who needs laws when you have great services on the Web like Tak Okamoto’s new RunLog! Yes there are many such services on the Web, but the cool thing about Tak’s system is that it uses OpenID. The concept behind OpenID is important: one login for all the things you like to do on the Web. That’s right–no more confusion about your various logins/passwords and so forth. A lot of it of course inevitably depends upon trust, but OpenID is actually well thought out in this area.

Combine Tak’s RunLog with the Map My Run service to measure your route, and you’re well on your way to a better New Year of 2007. Run!

   I forgot to mention. You need an OpenID login that can be had from: https://www.myopenid.com/ After that’s in place, you login with your OpenID URL like “http://yourlogind.myopenid.com” and can start RunLogging!

   Free, Anonymous, Temporary, Disposable OpenID « Jayant Kumar Gandhi  January 20, 2007

   […] OpenID is getting popular day by day and generating lot of discussion with varied response. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to have a password-less/ anonymous OpenID that one can use. I think that I need one, so I made the anonymous OpenID server and it ready for you to use at http://www.jkg.in/openid/. Read the Anonymous OpenID page for more info. […]

   Hi John.
   Thanks for bringing the links to those running sites. I made a post (not edited yet, because I had to leave computer in a hurry) on http://hjornevik.blogspot.com/2007/02/run-forest-run.html.

   Also, thanks for making a good book about a (to some) kind of obvious thema, at least for those with a sence of estetics, easy and simple life with high content.

   Lars,
   Norway
