Digg Rolls Out DataPortability Enhancements
by Steve Williams at 12pm, May 1st, 2008 in Digg Website

Hey all,

The Data Sharing Summit in San Francisco was a gas. It was a
real
pleasure to work with like-minded people from organizations,
large and
small, all supporting DataPortability.

At the Summit I had the chance to show off Digg’s latest
DataPortability
enhancements. Although the enhancements are not visible on
Digg.com, if
you use Digg together with other social networks, these
enhancements can
make the Web more fun and useful.

Among the recent enhancements:

- We’ve added XFN to your user profile. XFN is an open
standard that
makes it easier for other social Web sites to recognize your
Digg friends.

- We’ve improved support for hCard, another open data
format for
communicating Digg user names, nicknames, and photos, so
that your
favorite friend-following tools can more easily display your
friends’
activity.

- We’ve added RDFa, making Digg part of the “semantic
web” where Web
pages become more sophisticated, beyond simply words and
pictures.

These efforts support our philosophy that you own your
data.

Thanks,

sbw
