Digg Announces DataPortability Enhancements
Written by Allen Stern - May 1, 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.
