Justin FranksReadwriteweb writes about some of the concepts and problems with the original idea of the social graph, first voiced by Mark Zuckerberg in 2007. Some of the points may not be as relevant, but others are still important now three years later.

What is the Social Graph? Who owns it? What is the API? All of these questions are likely to shape the evolution of the next generation of the Social Web.

One problem is that currently you need to have different logins for different social networks
-
portability and ownership of an individual's information
-
users want to own their personal information - including their chunk of the Social Graph.

Quick Primer on the Sociological Graphs
-
In this graph, each one of us is a node. There is an explicit connection, if we know each other
-
Sociologists have been studying these graphs for decades

-
Key Elements In Digital Social Graphs
-
1. People Identity
-
Each one of us participates in multiple networks, but we want to be identified as the same person in all of them
-
2. Type of Relationships
-
The links between people in social networks are of different types
-
friend, a co-worker, a family member
-
3. Relationships Identity
-
Similar to having node equivalence, there is an issue of edge equivalence. Although, this issue is more complicated. If two people are connected in one social network, should they automatically be connected in all of them?
-
Privacy and Ownership of Information
-
Privacy and ownership of information are at the core of the social graph issues
-
there is a mismatch between what individuals and companies want from social networks
-
A more automated approach would be to define an API that all social networks must implement, so that other networks can query their subset of the social graph. With this approach, when a user joins a new network, that network can connect to other ones and get the information about its users.
-
The challenge, again, is to convince the social networks to support this functionality.

Brad Fitzpatrick recently wrote an elegant and important post about the Social Graph, a term used by Facebook to describe their social network. In his post, Fitzpatrick defines "social graph" as "the global mapping of everybody and how they're related". He went on to outline the problems with it, as well as a broad set of goals going forward.
One problem is that currently you need to have different logins for different social networks. Another issue is portability and ownership of an individual's information, explicitly and implicitly revealed while using social networks. As was recently asserted in the Social Bill Of Rights and as has been advocated for a while by Attention Trust Principles, users want to own their personal information - including their chunk of the Social Graph.
The problems are all interconnected - what makes up a Social Graph, how it is treated by social networks, what the APIs and standards are, as well as who owns the information. In his post Brad discussed a vision of an open, public asset - controlled by the people and used (and complied with) by the social networks. Can this vision be realized? While this is certainly a complex problem, if there is any time when this vision can become reality - the time is now.
In this post we will take a broad look at the definitions and issues with the Social Graph; and explore some ways in which the standards and laws can actualize.
In Mathematics, a Graph is an abstraction for modeling relationships between things. It is no different from a Network, which is a more common term for describing the same thing. Graphs consists of nodes and edges, or things and the ways that things relate to each other. As it turns out, Graphs are very powerful modeling tools for modeling natural and man-made systems. Diverse things like the Web, power grids, economies and even cells can be represented and analyzed as networks.
What is also remarkable is that a lot can be said about a graph by looking at its structure; and the evolution of the structure. For example, e -

Our society spawns one gigantic social graph. In this graph, each one of us is a node. There is an explicit connection, if we know each other.
-
Crudely, different types of relationships are a friend, a co-worker, a family member.

n the ideal scenario, we would like to spend the least amount of time logging in, configuring, telling the system what we like. We want to use the network to connect and to communicate.
-
we want to be in control
-
do what's in the best interest of their business
-
a need for an API or a service that would broker the information between social networks
-
a read/write database for storing people's attention
-
build a system that can scale
-
system which is secure
-
common API
-
What is the Social Graph? Who owns it?
-
What is the API?
-
next generation of the Social Web
-
allow the users themselves to do it.
