I’d like LinkedIn a lot more if they would at least let me merge my two LinkedIn accounts (under a personal and business email address) into one single account. It annoys my that I have these two somewhat overlapping accounts and I have to figure out which email address people are using to invite me into their network. I just can’t resist griping about that whenever given the opportunity because I’m surprised they didnt do a better job accounting for the fact that most people on the internet have more than one email address. Maybe I’m just missing something about their model.
Perhaps a more semantic web would force them to be more user friendly - but are you suggesting that we would all go back to having our own free home pages with a geocities like site, and then just mark it up with semantic content to replace myspace/facebook/linkedin all at once? I can see pros and cons to that.
So true. Closed data is very close to a thing of the past. As people, generally speaking, come to grips with no privacy as the status qui firm of privacy…the tolerance for “open” won’t be an issue. It will simply be expected. Medical info withstanding.
