(i.e. Amazon should access > my activity at orbitz to be able to provide those recommendations) the way i see this is none of my data should 'live' at orbitz, my data should live on my home node. so orbitz requests (via either OAuth or Web Intents) to post data to my recent browsing history in general, or better, to both my calendar, my personal bookkeeping data, and my map layers, so that i have the flight information already saved to my calendar, with a reference to the geolocation, and a note saying on this day i spent so much on that. it could also save an entry to my "topics discussed" notebook, posting bookmarks into my browsing history, and maybe adding some tags like 'travel to Thailand'. maybe this is something that could go into my activity stream as well. now when i visit amazon, amazon asks to see my recent browsing history, either via OAuth or via Web Intents, or since it's the browser, and we're in the browser, it could request elevated permissions to the Web API, to see the browsing history of the current device. but maybe that's not the best approach here. anyway, my point is amazon and orbitz should never be talking to each other about me, they should be talking to me about me.
