New Career Opportunities Daily: The best jobs in media.

This is a similar model to Ning who has opened up their code and has made it available for others to use. While I’m not quite sure that having a wiki is critical to all social networks, having social features embedded within them definitely is. While I’m not sure that this new release is as big of a move as Marshall Kirkpatrick has hyped it up to be, I definitely think that the movement toward open sourcing all of the social components of a site definitely is.

This is part of the overall trend toward data portability and I think that we will see other companies make similar moves. The concept is simple, you can use “our” company’s data to make your tools more useful as long as you don’t compete. If you ever come within striking distance of us, we will force you to sign an agreement stating that you will not compete. I have a feeling that this is what Facebook will do when they eventually open up the social graph. I’ll leave that concept for another post. For now, check out some screenshots of the SocialProfile service:
