Podcast with David Recordon about the Open Social Graph

By Byrne Reese
Posted October 11, 2007, in Just for Fun.

In last week's ProNet conference call, which is quickly evolving into a call-in internet talk show of sorts, I spoke with David Recordon, the man leading the effort behind the Open Social Graph Project, or "Glue." If you are interested in learning more about:

  • the open social graph
  • what actually is the "social graph"
  • what the goals are for the project
  • what are the principals that govern its development
  • what kind of products one might build with this technology
  • what is XFN and what are the other protocols and standards that this project is taking advantage of

Then this is a great podcast for you. Listen to it now (it is about 41 minutes long); and when you are done check out some of our previous podcasts posted to our ProNet Vox Community.

During the call I also gave updates about the Movable Type Open Source project, the Movable Type product roadmap, new plugins like Template Hammer and Ghostwriter and much, much more.

Remember our ProNet conference calls are open to the public. Anyone is welcome to join and participate in the conversation we have there.

vox.com is closed few years ago. This is why the links are broken. Unfortunatly the people from MT can’t do anything about it.

Actually, Recordon is a great guy. He is no longer in connection with Moveable Type, now he works for Facebook, but he is the youngest ever man who was awarded with Google-O’Reilly Open Source Award. Something really impressive.

The social graph is something really important. However it is really difficult to gain something from it if your site is not an online shop with thousands of clients.

Open social graph is the future of internet. If someone invest money, time and efforts in developing sites based on open social graph he or she will harvest many successes in the future :)
