Hi,
Tariq KRIM, founder and CEO of Netvibes, has just announced that after: Google, Facebook, Plaxo, LinkedIn, Flickr, also Netvibes was joining the Dataportability working group.
We all use Google, Facebook, Flickr, or a similar kind of service and almost every day we have problems transfering or just using data from one service to the other. I can upload my contacts to Facebook but I can not download them ...
The Objectives of this working group is:
" To put all existing technologies and initiatives in context to create a reference design for end-to-end Data Portability. To promote that design to the developer, vendor and end-user community."
In other words, The group is working on a variety of projects where users could take their data from the websites they use to reuse elsewhere. On the other side, vendors could leverage safe cross-site data exchange for a whole new level of innovation.
That move is another step towards an increase integration of Social life that could lead to my "dreamed single social interface".
But remember that a working group is by no means sure to achieve its goals...
If youn are that interested you can join or just read the Google's Public Group on Data Portability.
