  There are an increasing number of new "social applications" as well as traditional application which either require the "social graph" or that could provide better value to users by utilizing information in the social graph. What I mean by "social graph"

  concepts of social graph / social network

  social graph

  • social graph
  • "social graph" is a the global mapping of everybody and how they're related
  • Unfortunately, there doesn't exist a single social graph (or even multiple which interoperate) that's comprehensive and decentralized. Rather, there exists hundreds of disperse social graphs, most of dubious quality and many of them walled gardens.
  • A centralized "owner" of the social graph is bad for the Internet
  • any one of these sites shouldn't own it; nobody/everybody should. It should just exist.
  • Goals
  • Ultimately make the social graph a community asset
  • Establish a non-profit and open source software
  • which collects, merges, and redistributes the graphs from all other social network sites into one global aggregated graph
  • ensure that the design is such that others can run their own instances, sharing data with each other
  • For developers who don't want to do their own graph analysis from the raw data, the following high-level APIs should be provided
  • Node Equivalence
  • Edges out and in, by node
  • Find all of a node's aggregate friends from all equivalent nodes, expand all those friends' equivalent nodes, and then filter on destination node type.
  • Find missing friends of a node
  • For end-users:

  I've been thinking a lot about the social graph for awhile now: aggregating the graph, decentralization, social network portability, etc.
  If you've seen me at any conference recently, I probably talked your ear off about it. I've gotten good at my verbal/visual presentations, showing my slides, pictures of graphs, and adapting my delivery to you based on your background, facial expressions, questions, etc. This is all a lot harder to do in a blog post where the audience is so diverse, so I've been lazily putting it off. I was also afraid that if I left anything out, I'd get flooded with comments like But what about __________? Clearly then all you say is wrong. But it's time I braindump this, so here goes....
  First off, before I explain what I've prototyped so far, and what I want to build (or see built) next, let me declare the problem statement, as I see it, and the underlying assumptions I've been making...
  
  Problem Statement:
  There are an increasing number of new "social applications" as well as traditional application which either require the "social graph" or that could provide better value to users by utilizing information in the social graph. What I mean by "social graph" is a the global mapping of everybody and how they're related, as Wikipedia describes and I talk about in more detail later. Unfortunately, there doesn't exist a single social graph (or even multiple which interoperate) that's comprehensive and decentralized. Rather, there exists hundreds of disperse social graphs, most of dubious quality and many of them walled gardens.
  Currently if you're a new site that needs the social graph (e.g. dopplr.com) to provide one fun & useful feature (e.g. where are your friends traveling and when?), then you face a much bigger problem then just implementing your main feature. You also have to have usernames, passwords (or hopefully you use OpenID instead), a way to invite friends, add/remove friends, and the list goes on. So generally you have to ask for email addresses too, requiring you to send out addre
