Google Social Graph API
Today, Google announced their Social Graph API. The scoop:
This is definitely a step in the right direction. I was playing around with FOAF back in college, about 4 years ago. I’m amazed that it took this long to gain adoption.
Now, on to the big issue that Google is not addressing (yet): I don’t want my social graph to be public! Please, somebody come out with a service that lets me:
- import my social graph from sites like Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc.
- de-dupe and match
- share my social graph with select sites (like OpenID does for authentication)
- manage my social graph in one place
- sync my social graph across sites
Is anybody working on something like that? If not, who wants to help me build this?
