  • there’s something just a little weird about FriendFeed, some people are starting to mumble. It’s an aggregated “me” but it sits in a centralized site (in fact, centralization is kind of the point). FriendFeed is a (and hopes to become “the”) Centralized Me. It’s a data silo. True, it’s a friendly data silo, with APIs and RSS feeds to move some of the data around, but it’s ultimately housed on their servers, and always will be.
  • The whole point of Data Portability is to get social networks talking to each other and exchanging user data, with their explicit permission. Want to add your flickr photos, twitter messages and YouTube Videos to your blog? Data Portability is working to help make that happen through consensus driven policies and procedures. In essence, data portability embraces the Decentralized Me, but lets users re-centralize it wherever they please.

  Ultimately, Data Portability is to the Centralized Me (all your stuff) as OpenID is to identity (your literal identity). And just as the big players are sort of supporting/exploiting OpenId to maintain their user accounts, they will also support/exploit D

  • The site is more than a list of feeds that can be re-exported. FriendFeed wants to be a destination site, too.

  Centralized me and Decentralized me. FriendFeed gives us a platform to centralize me, though many other SNS gives us places to decentralize me. The latters are like chaos, and the former is more like order. Data Portability is like decentralizing me to many places which keeping centralized me all the time, it's chaos as well as order. We don't have to care where we are but we are sure we are here all the time. It may be close to what the internet should be and is.
