Digg Announces DataPortability Enhancements

Social news aggregator Digg has announced several enhancements to their DataPortability support. Digg’s Steve Williams provides an overview of the updates which include:

– XFN Friends Network access – this lets other services tie-into your friends on Digg

– hCard access – this is basically your business card – allows other machines to read your Digg profile for the juicy bits of personal info

– They’ve also added RDFa, which Wikipedia explains "allows you to annotate XHTML markup with semantics."

These steps are a good move forward for DataPortability. It’s not exactly how I’d define DP but it’s a good step for Digg to make.
