Facebook and Data Portability: Q&A with DataPortability.org Chairperson Chris Saad
When Facebook joined the DataPortability.org Workgroup a few weeks ago, the press described the move both as a “bombshell” as well as “brilliant PR”. In order to understand what Facebook’s decision to join actually means a little bit better, I spoke with Chris Saad, Co-Founder and Chairperson of DataPortability.org.
IF: What does it mean for companies like Facebook to “join” DataPortability.org?
CS: It means they agree to engage in the conversation and work towards a blueprint for maximum interoperability between applications.
IF: Has Facebook promised to implement any particular functionality by any particular time?
CS: Not yet – but once the blueprint is done we can then start asking vendors to implement things.
