Excited About Connections
By Brooks Jordan | November 26, 2007
Tim Berners-Lee nudges us to let go of our personal data a little for the social and semantic graph. Why? We get a lot back. He writes:
“Letting your data connect to other people’s data is a bit about letting go in that sense [in the sense of being part of a packet-based network and linking in and out of your website]. It is still not about giving to people data which they don’t have a right to. It is about letting it be connected to data from peer sites. It is about letting it be joined to data from other applications.
It is about getting excited about connections, rather than nervous.”
