The Open Web
- 1. The Open Web ... and what it isn't
- 2. All Your Base Facebook connect et al (lock-ins!) Google Docs, S3 etc – store your business in the cloud..? Open Web is NOT a data-mining opportunity! Who owns your data?
- 3. So, what is the open web? Freedom from lock-ins Competition! - Real consumer choice (and not a Hobson's choice) Data sharing in the hands of the data owner Democracy FTW!
- 4. How we can get there? Data portability Open data formats (which are practical to use) Network federalisation Gang up on the big boys Sites and networks part of something bigger Education – making people aware of the problem
- 5. So? etc.....
Editor's Notes
- #3: What it isn't: - Facebook connect and other so called open system which just serve as another form of lockin - Google docs, storing your data in the cloud - Many of these companies use this as a data mining opportunity, desperately trying to make money out of your data
- #4: Removing the lockins leads to consumer choice and competition We need data to be in hands of the owner – so where , how and with who that data is shared with - campaign to have email addresses over open data... surely that's my choice? EG: http://www.spokeo.com/ This should be everywhere, including when dealing with governments
- #5: Simple data formats which are easy and quick to understand and implement Which allow... Network federalisation... How do you take on the big players when you're small? Work together! Allow users to move about and own their data
- #6: Not just about formats remember, but here are some of them that might be useful - discuss
