Facebook and Google Join DataPortability Workgroup

Google and Facebook, together with Plaxo recently announced that they will be joining the DataPortability Workgroup. The announcement was a sigh of relief for those people upset with the recent Facebook brouhaha.

You see, Facebook currently is making a lot of application programmers crazy by not allowing them to import their own data. While I think this can be good for the part of Facebook, it’s doomsday for the programmers. It’s like there’s really no going out.

Facebook has become so popular last year and now it’s turning to a prima donna. But good thing the announcement will somehow bring an end to the controversy. Atleast, excitement is building up.

However, it was a mere announcement. It’s not as if Facebook users and application developers can all out access the data they need right away. Let’s just wait and see.
