Back in April, when Alec and I visited the Bay area, we did a lunch time talk about the Mine! project at Google. Here is the first part:
The Mine! Project
open source project for online data and relationships logistics
The Mine! Project
The Mine! project is about equipping people with tools and functionality to enable them:
• take charge of their data (content, relationships, transactions, knowledge)
• arrange (analyse, manipulate, combine, mash-up) it according to their needs and preferences and
• share it on their own terms
• whilst connected and networked on the web.

- Mine! Video Roundup! March 23, 2010We’ve had a lot of conferences recently, and two of them yielded videos!

So a conclusion from a McKinsey article by Scott Griffith, CEO of Zipcar, describing how [...] […]Adriana

[...] I think the dispersion of data is part of the reason I have such a downer on Activity Streams which I see as the technological blogspace trying to ape Facebook’s “Status Updates”, rather than the other way round which is how I currently use Facebook.
