Social Networking Open Sourced
Number of social networking websites are spreading very fast these days. Every alternate day I get an email in my mail box where some friend of mine invites me to join a weird named social networking website. And the funny part is that every time these fellows expect me to upload all my images in their albums plus write down all my information (and mark what other can see and what others cannot) in their complicated looking websites. Then they want me to invite other friends of mine and start talking to them using their bandwidth. Alright, but why?
If they actually want users to switch to their kind-of social networking website then these people need to ease the login process. Working in this same direction leading developers from Google and Facebook, among many other, have recently agreed to be a part of DataPortability, a website which encourages online companies to leverage existing technologies to share user data across other websites. This means that you won’t have to re-enter details or upload photographs all over again on some new social networking websites you just signed on to.
For the end user this means that Internet will be a common platform which you can personalize to your tastes and interests with all data and information seamlessly accessible, while saying bye-bye to your privacy. Little hard work from the the big players of the game and I am sure this concept could actually be the one we all will love to use.
