“Data Portability”

How?

project

Is this really Possible?

It’s already happening!OpenID, OAuth, XFN, APML, iCal, hCal,

XMPP, RSS, Atom OPML etc...

Still some open QuestionsSecurity, Privacy, Who owns what,Business Models, User Education

All the big vendors are playing

But who cares about them!

The DataPortability Project is an open, grass-roots effort.

An experiment in radical transparency and open participation

“Participant Democracy”

It will be free

Everyone will own it

Everyone can participate to help

make it happen

That means YOUCould change the web as we know it

Yes YOUWhat are you still sitting there for?
