The real roadblocks to data portability on social networks
via Scobleizer -- Tech geek blogger by Robert Scoble on March 25, 2008
I see that Yahoo has joined up with Google’s Open Social. That’s cool because it will let developers build gadgets, widgets, social networking applications, or whatever we’re calling these things that are like Facebook apps, twice, instead of dozens of times. Once for Facebook and once for everyone else. That’s really great, because it’ll encourage developers to build a bunch of new...

Semantic Feed Reading With FeedzZ
via ReadWriteWeb by Sarah Perez on June 03, 2008
At first glance, the social news aggregation site called FeedzZ appears to nothing more that an Alltop clone with fewer categories. But look again - FeedzZ is actually doing something quite different than Alltop, OriginalSignal, Shyftr, or any other news aggregation web site - it's using the Calais API to offer a semantic component to the feed reading experience. This semantic technology is...
