OpenSocial does not make a federated ecosystem of social networks. It just makes multi-platform social network apps. (Write once, deploy onto all OpenSocial-compatible networks.)

Wonder whether this is all a stunt by Scoble and Plaxo to get attention hmmm…

@asdix even if it’s just typical biographical info it’s still a danger. People can use this to gain sensitive info from financial institutions, most of them ask for biographical information like mothers maiden name, birth place, etc when verifying your identity over the phone…

how dangerous was that script? i mean, if the data of your socialnetwork account’s really just the typical biographical info, i guess it wouldn’t really pose a danger. i mean, u dont divulge your CC numbers and all, right? that script i think might be useful for lazy lasses who wants to check all their socialnetworking accounts all at once, just like a mail client downloading all emails simultaneously.

anyway, haven’t really used facebook. im a friendster loyalist. its the only social networking account i’ve had. hehehe

nytz!
