So there is a lot of buzz around DataPortability in the blogosphere. Especially how the BIG social networks are joining the group. Already we have Facebook, LinkedIn, Bebo, Google, Plaxo

What really excites me is that the group is supporting existing technologies. OpenID, Microformats, RSS, RDF etc. Thats totally awesome! So developers don’t have to spend hours going through a new technologies like DPML.

DPML: Data Portability Markup Language. I just made it up , I’m too aware that social networks are obsessed with creating their own markup language. I’m glad the outcome of this group is to use standardised technologies.

See how it all kick started when Robert Scoble got his Facebook account disabled.
