All of the stuff that would be needed already exists, it's just not being used yet.
- A standardized personal information representation = Social Graph API
- A centralized database with pointers to user profiles = Social Graph API
- A security mechanism = oAuth
- An information delivery mechanism = PubSubHubbub + Activity Streams
- Easy deployment = buddypress, onesocialweb and others
- mattmiller 16y agoYour right. But this will never take down Facebook. FB is more of a marketing achievement than a technical one. Who is going to put in the work to market open FB if there is no upside? I don't think we need an open FB, I think we need a few companies specialize in smaller portions of FB. One company runs the graph, but does not do messaging, or IM, or photos... Then other companies use that companies graphs to build on. These companies should all be for profit, otherwise I don't think they will be able to out-market FB.
