Portable Social Networks

How can social media be open?

Why does every social network ask you to re-enter all your personal information, like name, birthday, occupation, etc? Why does every social network let you re-add all your friends? Why do you have to set your privacy or notification settings on every social network seperately?

With:
Biz Stone, Dick Hardt, Robert Gaal, Yme Bosma, Marc Canter

Simple: because there is no open protocol yet to exchange data between these system. It's called a portable social network, and we need to decide together how it will shape the future of online networks forever.

Facebook and Twitter are leading the way showing how social media can be open. OpenID is a burgeoning standard that can be used for single sign-on as well as moving user’s data between systems. Microformats are paving the way for a structured web. Come meet some of the movers and shakers helping to create portable social networking.

Picnic Day/Conference Pass needed or not?

Hi,

I still don't get it... Do I need to register for the Picnic conference to attend this workshop?

That's what I read elsewhere ( www.53miles.com/archives/portable-social-network-meet-up-coming-up#comment-6288 ).

Then again, another partner event states that:

"While the partecipation to the Un(conference) is free of charge, along with all other Partner Events at PICNIC 07, it is necessary to become a member of the PICNIC Network (also free of charge)"

( www.bloggersconference.eu/doku.php )

Tip: if ever in doubt, sign up and see if you get asked for money!

See you there. Cheers Daniel

no backup

I was thinking of attending this event but it looks like my decision has been made for me. This process of attending/registering etc. is somewhat opaque.

You guys do the meetup and hammer some stuff out. Am looking forward to the results.
