Portable data? For real? Submitted by pg on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 20:37. Posted In data \| personomies It looks like it. Google, Facebook and Plaxo just joined the data portability working group. I was wondering whether google was serious when Eric Schmidt hinted at it a while ago. I blogged then: [....]Google is commited to data interoperability (as in: Google lets you take your data to go to a competitor - see this Eric Schmidt interview, scroll way down) [...]Watch this space. If this is indeed real and user data is truly portable, then it will give you control over it and will become your data. This means opening the door to a slew of services and applications aimed at helping you manage it, share it, and, why not, monetize it.... happy new year! pg's blog Share (add new comment)

hi

I am Pierre-Guillaume Wielezynski. I live in Washington, DC. I work at the World Bank, in the Corporate Communications Department. My work is related to analytics, advertising and social media. This personal blog is my only new year resolution (2006) and I am doing a really poor job at maintaining it.

The BuzzMonitor

The BuzzMonitor is an application I have conceived for my employer that allows to better track and understand who says what about whatever issue online. It helps you build vertical views of the web. It is so useful that we released it in open source. See it, try it, get it.
