Portable Social Graphs - Imagining their Potential@shivsingh i know we had an exchange over on adrants, i wanted to let you know i think this deck does highlight great hypotheticals around the potential of FBC, and the kind i hope to see soon! also, i wrote a post for Mashable from a FB perspective on how they could build a business model around Facebook Connect, the subtext being of course hypothetical implementations (http://mashable.com/2008/11/19/facebook-marketing/). Great job on the deck.2 years ago

Portable Social Graphs - Imagining their Potential@matiasjajaja 3rd party sites can cache FB data for 24 hours (this is apparently changing down the road) and while you can track and analyze the FB data flowing through, you cannot store it. Its still housed in FB’s database-- case in point as to why FBC is not true data portability2 years ago

Portable Social Graphs - Imagining their Potentialhrm, this looks a little familiar to http://www.slideshare.net/alisamleo/whats-the-social-graph-got-to-do-with-it-presentation...and so close after a round trashing of Razorfish’s supposed FBC-JCP implementation. I like the hypotheticals though, and it goes more into detail about those (as mine is more a primer on what the social graph actually is). But also, lets remember neither FBC nor MySpace DA are true "data portability" initiatives. What is exciting is all the work that the DP Workgroup are doing (and I don’t care what FB people tell me, I’ll believe they’ll embrace open standards when I see it). True data portablity may very well function more via a browser than any one app, data silo or platform (FB being the data storage hub of this grand ’dp’ initiative). And of course...the true potential of data portability and the ability of a user to control their data is the vision of VRM, which is perhaps most exciting and will be most disruptive of all.2 years ago
