Hi, I'm Ahmed, a Management & Technology College student, E-Commerce
major at the Arab Academy for Science & Technology & Maritime
Transport in Egypt
I wasn't able to record or upload a video because of some bandwidth
problems, so here's my video in text format.
I think data portability needs a user interface.
There should be an interface for users to control which data goes to
whom, because not everyone would want all his Facebook or Digg info by
example to go to Flickr, and vice, because my contacts at each service
my differ and according to the business or non-business relation
between them, I would want them to know about me some specific info
only, so that's not a restriction as much as it's a safety layer, that
users must have the ability to choose what they want to give to each
account, the DataPortability will be available, but under each user's
vision,, and I think that would be much easier & less complicated than
uploading the data all over again
Anyway, I suggest that there should be a master DataBase that contains
all the users info, and become responsible of giving it to all the
other accounts and controlling them, that would reduce the traffic for
sure, and prohibit the ability of creating fake info on an account and
giving it to all the others, so if someone takes over of an account,
he won't be able to reach the others, though only the Master DP
account is the only allowed account to give the info to other accounts
and users should have the ability to control the master account from a
website or through other accounts but by entering the master account's
password or whatever security gate.
Hi, I am Ahmed, and I wabnt DataPortability :)
