It's Time for Social Networks to Open Up

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the heard-that-before dept.

edmicman notes that "Wired has an article, "Slap in the Facebook: It's Time for Social Networks to Open Up", that calls for the greater programming community to create a truly "open" social network. Specifically, the problems with today's networks, says the author, is that their content is not available to everyone."

    My impression of social networks is that too much information is already available to everyone. The privacy concerns created by Facebook et al. are staggering; I can't believe that someone in the open source community seriously supports making such information even more easily available.
