Hey, Andrea! I thought the same thing, but then realized that all those consumer sites are public, and that I can usually decide whether to allow others to see my network in most of those sites.

Thanks, Tyler! I will fix now…

So I can see it now — all those naysayers out there…”It invades my privacy for you to show my likeness on your internal site” or “what if I don’t want your friends to know about me?” and the like. So, there will have to be rules and governance, and the ability to “opt out” and all of a sudden, you’ve taken away all the social aspects – and made it once again something not worth very much.

In theory, I think it’s a great idea – in practice – I’m wondering how ready we are, as a society. Personally tho – I’d love the conversations that start with “have you heard this song by…”…..

Tim Bray wrote an essay a couple weeks ago talking about this same problem but came up with a different solution:

Instead of us getting our data (ie: we can get our data out of linkedin), we should force websites to look for data in a single place so instead of you updating your image in 10 places, you’d update your image in one place and then all the sites would see that change and update accordingly.
