Social Network Interop Chat @ GSP East
Talking Social Network Interop @ GSP East from Brian Oberkirch on Vimeo.
Today Chris Messina, David Recordon & I took a break while at Graphing Social Patterns, East and chatted about one of our favorite topics: what to do about all this social data we are generating like crazy.
We need an open standard, actually, a standard of standards, that encompasses all of this: OBAMLA.
Open
Broadcasting of
Activities and
Messages with
Location
Awareness
OpenID, OAuth, Atom, XMPP. Boom.
@Luigi: Kind of like DiSo?
Also check out my other post today on activity streams:

Great discussion except it doesn’t consider privacy concerns. It doesn’t seem like there is a community consensus around standard privacy controls which is understandable because it is a very complex topic - IMO privacy is a personal and individual thing and is also dependent on the context of usage, see my post here for more details

Does it make sense to have a more focused effort to define open and standard privacy controls much like OAuth, OpenID, etc?
