I left Web Worker Daily in 2009 in no small part because I was bored out of my mind with the content I was producing/editing. I couldn’t stomach looking at even one more new social networking/collaboration site that no one would care about in 6 minutes, much less 6 months. Tagged: Google , social networking.

I think people are finally realizing that the current state of affairs – where we can pump data into Facebook and other social networks, but not get data out of them, is untenable. There’s a poll on mashable.com , where the sentiment is most certainly heavily in favor of Facebook opening up the social graph.

Google has a number of partners, including social network sites like LinkedIn, Friendster and Ning, as well as Salesforce, which does have very interesting implications given the increasing use of Salesforce in the nonprofit sector. Basically, if the more social network sites that adopt OpenSocial, the more open the whole thing gets.
