Just got a heads-up from David Recordon about exciting progress they’re making at SixApart on the effort to open up the social graph, leveraging open standards, like: OpenID, hCard XFN, and FOAF. Read the detailed post on their blog.
Joseph Smarr, Plaxo, and I strongly support this effort. For those who think the Bill of Rights for Users of the Social Web is too lofty and impractical, witness this and moves soon to follow.
