I presented on Data Portablity at Social Media Camp Seattle on July 12, 2008. Most of the info was in the live presentation, but check out the speaker notes for a little more info.

Jason Kelly Akona Consulting, an interactive marketing and custom development company. Right now I’m primarily working with the Windows Live Platform team at Microsoft – their business is opening up the data stored in Windows Live in developer and user friendly ways. Today I’d like to start a conversation about Data Portability.
