It's the end of the Internet social networking world as we know it...and I feel fine...Hello, social network data portability. According to CNET, Google is going to bring it on with Friend Connect, which will allow users "to port their friends, profile photos, events, and other data across the Web to partner sites".
Naysayers claim that the concept has a long way to go until full functionality, and could still end up doomed to an epic fail. Yes, the utility has the potential to make the Internet more connected, but (*cue irony throwing up on itself*) it's possible it could also make it more confusing.
It almost sounds too utopian to be true, but reps from Google, MySpace and Facebook are said to be working together in one Data Portability Workgroup, tho nothing has been formally announced... (*tentative woot* )

One Data Portability Workgroup? Sounds like some sort of big merger abomination to me.
"Goog-FaceSpace: A Place For Web 2.0"
Hehehe..."Goog-FaceSpace"!
Ya -- a merger abomination is possible, and monopolies ARE a tad evil.
Maybe it could develop in such a way that the websites maintain their autonomy and individual features, yet are compatible with each other as well as linking to other sites...
I have a feeling that "Irony Throwing Up On Itself" will end up being a new app. on Facebook by the end of the week :)
*goes to learn how to code Facebook apps*
Hahahaha... :-D
If I log on to Facebook I now look forward to having friends Super Ironically Poke and Throw Up on me. And its not even flu season yet....
hey sounds like just one more way for us to be connected even though I am across the ocean!
