Digg Announces DataPortability Enhancements
by Allen Stern on May 1st, 2008
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.
