YouTube - Why we need the Social Web - 0 views

  • The current Social Networking space is a mess. We describe the problems both technical, pragmatic and philosophical of current social netoworks, and present a solution deployable immediately that works in current browsers: an open global secure network - The Social Web.In this 10 min Video we start with Robert Scoble getting thrown of Facebook, how this lead to the Data Portability movement, its failings, and the practical solution: the Social Web. This is part of a collection on the theme.

  • SS4S will be trusted and reliable with a strong community belief in its long term stability. No single organization holds or probably even can hold this trust so solutions will almost certainly need to be federated, open source, and supported by an active development community.
  • The problem with centralised services is three-fold. Firstly business models may take them in directions that aren’t useful for the scientific community (e.g. Friendfeed). They may simply fold, leaving the users behind with no-where to go (pick your recent failure).
  • Federation means that communties and organisations can both exist in their own space, with their own business models, but with a confidence that data is portable enough that it can be moved or replicated and with communications protocols that push things in and out of other services.

  • make scientific objects available online while simultaneously assuring users that this upload and the objects are always under their control.
  • This will mean in many cases that what is being pushed to the SS4S system is a reference not the object itself, but will sometimes be the object to provide ease of use
  • shared interest
  • collaboratively filter

    clearly others are thinking about this in their domain, note the reference to ownership and posting references rather than content to the service (invisible to the user), taking things into one's personal stream (entanglement) and social graph based filtering
