Decentralized/Portable social network
[video] request for a decentralized social network: http://www.metafluence.com/request-for-a-decentralized-social-network/
The basic concept is that with an identity layer, the blogosphere could be upgraded to have the features people value on social networks. People could still easily sign up to join (vs. installing a blog) on services like Wordpress.com or Blogger. The missing link is friend management. I want to be able to login one time, not on everyone’s site, and I want to be able to control the access a person has based on who they are. I think two pieces that could be leveraged to accomplish this are OpenID and XFN. I’ll put a more detailed post together explaining how I think these pieces could be used and some starting point standards for the open social network.

Current implementation of Open Social Networks:
NoseRub only defines the social network and some basic content types like media, links, micropublishing and text. You can now add all your contacts to a NoseRub network and aggregate several social networks into just one.
And you always have full control of your data, as you can install NoseRub on your own server and have it connect to other servers out there
Your Contacts, the Webby Way
knowee is an open-source web contact organizer (or "online social graph manager" for better buzzword compliance). It's decentralized and lets you aggregate, track, organize, and share information about you and the people you know.
