Walled Gardens and Open Graphs
QOTD (my first!) goes to Shelley Powers:
As for all the discussion about semantic API…years ago I, and others, made a fight for a model and associated XML vocabulary, RDF, we said would stand the test of time and hold up under use. The road’s been rough … but RDF fuels the only truly open social graph in existence. Five years ago. That was about the time when everyone believed that all we’d need for semantics was RSS. Including Microsoft.
That reminds me; I need to follow Norm and close my Facebook account. I’ll put my eggs in the open web basket thank you.
