I am not sure exactly where all this is going, but the intention and efforts are laudable.

Problem for me is I have too many logins and passwords to keep track of already, I would rather like one service where all the disparate services can be brought together and accessed once and updates from everywhere else would be available there; NO not iGoogle or Pageflakes; more Twine

data porting only means chaos; who has control over what Scoble does with your email and DOB elsewhere; i friended him on facebook as thought leader in techbiz space; not for him to decide where and how my data should be available elsewhere; too many points of possible failure to make me sleep easy; he can of course splash his own data over the web; but my facebook details I want to stay IN Facebook

your freedom to port your data over the network ends where my email and DOB begins ™

Re comments 3 and 5 (Jim and Chris): I think that the term “data portability” is misleading. It suggests… well, exactly what Jim thought it meant. See:

Hi Jeremiah – thanks for your support and the excellent list of requested deliverables. We may in fact model our work on your list.

This will be a transparent, open and user-centric process so we welcome all feedback!

@Jim – Our definition of DataPortability does not mean you need to move the data around necessarily – rather have points and protected access to your data from any application you trust.

@Eugene – There is a DataPortability Policy Blueprint being worked on – which right now refers to the Social Bill of Rights and the Media 2.0 Best practices as starting points.

Maybe it’s not for these folks to come up with, but I envision that a clear and straightforward End User Bill of Rights should be developed and adhered to by the members of the group.

Seems to me it’s a little weird to talk about moving the relationship data from one social network to another. This seems analagous to moving one’s entire credit history around from site to site, and trying to keep it secure at the same time.

Wouldn’t it make more sense for some small number of secure sites to simply enable many SoNet sites to have controlled access to relationship info?

Thank you Jeremiah. I agree 100% and some of the items that you list are already being addressed (passionately!) and will be shared within the public groups and other conversation channels.

The buzz was big and many of us that have been involved since the beginning are still catching up on all the posts and comments (well at least i am!!!). This is extremely important not only for the users but also for companies (small and big) who are looking to implement social tools as part of their strategies.

We look forward to further comments and engagement from you as well.
