I linked to a great thought piece a while back on opening up the social graph (that is, your network of friends.) Jon Stahl pointed me to a great article , also about opening up the social graph. There is a Google group (called Social Network Portability), that you should definitely join if you are at all interested in these issues.

April 15, 2007 At NTC , there was a lot of talk about the “big three&# open source CMS packages that most people these days in our sector are using: Drupal , Plone , and Joomla. It definitely focuses a lot on the eye candy, which is nice, actually – I like that the admin interface is pretty. So I like Joomla.
