Walt Mossberg – For iPad and Mobile Devices, a “Port” out of the Norm
The DataPortability Workgroup announced Tuesday that Google, Plaxo–and the big surprise–Facebook will be participating in discussions on how users can “access their friends and media across all the applications, social-networking sites and widgets that implement the design into their systems.” This couldn’t have come at a more perfect time, especially given the flap over Robert Scoble scraping Facebook.
This is a section of the AllThingsD Web site featuring posts that have been curated from around the Web: pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Five posts are included here each weekday, but only the headline and the first two sentences. We link to the original site for the rest. The section is explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that content comes “from other Web sites.”
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions. Voices is edited by Beth Callaghan.
