MySpace Data Portability Ensures Web's Continuity

Posted May 9th, 2008 by admin_huliq

Mypace is the first company to move towards "Data Portability".

Starting today users can share their profile data with Yahoo, Twitter, eBay and Photobucket. It seems like such a shock announcement that Twitter presently can't display all that info yet.

The article at BBC news has lots of quotes from industry insiders and academics, that paints a pretty good picture of what the future now holds now that Myspace has made the first move. However on tech website site VentureBeat, they seem a bit apprehensive, rightly pointing out that Myspace's "Data Availability" is at ends with the earlier "Data Portability" also quotes like "This is pretty interesting, because MySpace seems like it is trying to make itself the center of the web."

It seems like this might become a hot issue and perhaps the start of web 2.1 or something. Whatever upgrade were on now.

According to SF Gate MySpace plans to introduce the data portability and sharing program in the next several weeks.

"Users will be able to go to a central MySpace location to decide where they want to share their information. For now, it will include all of the data they create, such as their photos, friends and personal interests. But in the future, MySpace said, it will allow users to pick which details to share with which site."
