Personal data portability, when to become a standard SNS?

Years and weeks (forgotten), on Robert Scoble's Twitter, heard him complaining that http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/1560.html ">facebook stopped his account, The reason is that he used a third-party program to try to pull out contacts on Facebook. Interestingly, the program came from Plaxo (recently Plaxo seemed to be active, connected to 4 invitations), and Plaxo employees are said to have developed a program to pull personal contacts around, including Facebook, of course.

The fun is, number 9th, heard Google, Facebook and so on to join the Dataportability "project." The two companies that are thought to be competing in socialcomputing are going to be on the dataportability, which also means that the need for personal data mobility is about to come, as can be seen from Twitter on this project, More and more familiar Web2.0 companies have been involved in the project, including Plaxo, LinkedIn, SixApart, Netvibes, and so on.

Starting in 08, there is a good beginning, you can believe that this year, the Socialweb breakthrough will be worth looking forward to. As the beginning of September 02 blogging,03 years of contact and use a variety of SNS applications, for personal data portability, has a deep understanding and needs. After entering the SNS industry, it is natural that the personal data may also be transplanted into the route of product planning. For the design of the contact family, it is based on "the individual", then the "society" as the starting point, and attempts to lianluo5.com this platform, and then from the community dispersed to more individuals.

In other words, for those who are personal data, how can mobile/transplant, in practice, there will be many confusing problems, such as:

My content belongs to me, this general person will not doubt, but I can see the content of friends, whether I can also export it;

My contact method belongs to me, but, in the SNS Exchange connection, obtains the friend the contact way, whether belongs to me?

Can I import these exported contact messages into another SNS, and who will be assigned to them?

The above is the content definition aspect, but in the content export form, the way, the interface and so on, is also complex and diverse, everybody looks dataportability.org on those standards to know. However, with the participation of a large number of people in the industry, I believe that there will soon be a simple agreement acceptable to all.

Although the new team of contacts and the new version is only just beginning, but for "personal" attention, has always been our core, not to mention "the portability of personal data" is not a company's business, but everyone needs to pay attention to the problem.
