Wouldn’t it be great to be able to transfer your data from your profile on one social network to your profile on another social network? The Data Portability Workgroup is aiming to do that very thing. WebProNews Reporter Abby Prince talked with Chris Saad, DataPorability.org’s Co-Founder and Chairman, about the initiative.
The Data Portability Workgroup contains many companies including Google, Plaxo, Facebook, and LinkedIn, just to name a few. Plaxo’s John McCrea and Joseph Smarr talked to WebProNews about their role in the recent incident involving Robert Scoble and Facebook. Catch all the details, only on WebProNews.

It seems like the next logical step for social network marketing is the formation of Cooperative Social Network Marketing, with a degree of Symbiotic sales and advertising.
Data portability will save people time when they sign up on lots of different websites. Privacy should not be an issue because people give out information that they are comfortable to give out, be it on one website or a hundred.
Cant wait for this new technology.

This is an excellent idea! I LQQK forward to see how it progresses and would definitely give it a try.
I agree with the privacy thing. That is a major issue and I think that perhaps the idea behind these companies sharing is wrong. Instead of the companies choosing to share the data, there should be a central hub where people can store addresses they want to share. I think the model that Plaxo has is much better as far as data portability goes concerning privacy and I think Facebook is the anti-christ.
this is very very good to know about data portablity.
thanking you.
