Chamath Palihapitiya, "There is One Social Graph"

I’m at the graphing social patterns conference in San Jose, California. Chamath Palihapitiya, vice president of product marketing and operations at Facebook, is speaking on a panel about opening up the social graph. During the panel, Chamath said that Facebook believes that there is one social graph. I agree but this signals Facebook’s intention to be the sole owner of that social graph. A week ago, I suggested that Facebook will have to open up if they intend to to own the social backbone.
