You are kidding me - welcome! We need more passionate, intelligent, motivated people to continue on this charge!

As for who am I? A DataPortability co-founder as well as one of the individuals currently serving on its executive. I look forward to collaborating with your, not competing. And I certainly don’t see you as a threat. I’m not in this to make profit; I’m here to see imrprovement in our world, in line with the vision we all share.

I was going to write a similar blog post on the subject! I think that data portability and federation between social networks is an important part of the problem we're trying to solve: to wit, ensuring that users of network services retain their autonomy. We should encourage big, proprietary Web service providers to "open" their services and let people operate easily in a distributed social Web.</p> <p>But stopping there is only getting the job half done. Implementing Web services as Free software lets anyone become a service provider -- for a user base of 10 million customers or 100 friends or just one individual. And that's important to building a robust Web of autonomous, empowered people.</p> <p>I guess that we need to do a better job of pointing people to the Franklin Street Statement and making sure they understand all the parts of the equation.</p> I’m really glad you pointed this out.

I guess that we need to do a better job of pointing people to the Franklin Street Statement and making sure they understand all the parts of the equation.
