Federating the social graph some more
This Saturday Mediamatic is hosting an event on Federating Social Networks (Upcoming) to further the ongoing dialogue regarding opening the social graph information.
The conversation that started earlier this year and had a big flare with the announcement of OpenSocial just before Barcamp Berlin is going on.
Ralph Meijer presented (announcement on his blog) on the subject during the Web 2.0 Expo on how to solve the problem using XMPP.
At the same time OAuth 1.0 and OpenID 2.0 are coming to fruition and Chris Messina is talking about distributing social networking applications. And Hyves —our Dutch social network— is busy opening up their API.
These are exciting times, but this technological groundwork is just the beginning. The real challenge is making understandable and usable systems using this stuff.
