Cringley writes here in The Decline and Fall of Facebook
My interest is in what follows Facebook, which I think must be its disintermediation by all of us reclaiming our personal data, possibly through our embracing the very HTML5 that Roger loves so much. The trend is clear from “the computer is the computer” through “the network is the computer” to what’s next, which I believe is “the data is the computer.”
It’s nice to see more and more folks understanding the need for us to reclaim and control our personal data.
