+-   Who Owns Your Social Data? You Do, Sort of-> on Friday January 04 2008, @03:33PM eweekhickins

eweekhickins writes "Mad about Facebook's treatment of Robert Scoble? "The idea for people to move their social graph from one service to other is a fabulous benefit," Wikia co-founder Jimmy Wales told eWEEK. "To me, it's a benefit to customers. People should be very wary about services that are uptight about that kind of thing in an effort to lock you out of the customer." The problem is that while the profile data may be yours and yours alone, your address book contains the names and e-mail addresses of your friends, family and business contacts. So who owns whose data?"
